How do you write the output of an Excel-calculation into PALO?

I'm working on my first 'real' project with PALO. So far I've been able to implement everything I wanted. But now I'm stuck with this:


I have two cells (Y6;Y11) containing PALO.DATAC-fomulas.

Now I need a third cell with this function: =(Y6+Y11)/2*Y$18%

So far, no problem. But how do I write the output of the function back into the cube? Is there any easy way to achieve this or do I have to use VBA?

Thank you for your help!

RE: How do you write the output of an Excel-calculation into PALO?

Hi,
first of all. Use PALO.DATA in (Y6;Y11) instead of PALO.DATAC in theis case to make sure that the following steps work.

Let's say you got your calculation formula (Y6+Y11)/2*Y$18% in Y12.

Now place a PALO.SETDATA formula in e.g. Y13 to write back Y12.
This should work. Also you can wrap the SETDATA with IF.


Hope that helps.

Holger

P.S.:Conditional SETDATAS with IF don't work in WSS2. PALO.SETDATA is alsways 'fired'. There are other solutions for this.
