+9Hello all!
I am stuck and unable to create a formula in FME. It involves an Excel formula that I can't seem to replicate in FME. I know there's likely a simple way to achieve this. I need to subtract values. Here is a screenshot for reference: I would greatly appreciate any help!
+26Have a look at the Excel Writer Cell/Attribute Formula Attribution
https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Form-Documentation/FME-ReadersWriters/xlsx/XLSX_writer.htm
For the Feature corresponding to Row 6, that has an existing Attribute “Budget”, then you can use AttributeCreator to create a separate Attribute called “Budget.formula” and assign this new attribute a value of “=B3-B4” , or use string parsing (shown below in example as using a separate Attribute to track the Feature “_rowID”) to write this dynamically if the Difference value row number will be different for different Write scenarios.
+9Hi
+9I used this expression as well,and it did not work:
@Evaluate(@Value(PaintingWalls)-@Value(Sewing))
=SUMIF(A:A, "Painting Walls",B:B)-SUMIF(A:A, "Sewing",B:B)
Is it possible to replicate this formula from excel to FME?
+9I was able to perform the calculations by creating a list that saved the budget information, and I used an expression evaluator to subtract the value in list 0 from the value in list 1. This allowed me to determine the difference in my Excel report. I am still curious to know if the Excel formula I mentioned earlier would work. However, I tried using that formula and was unable to make it function correctly.
