Dear BPC Experts,
We have recently upgraded from BPC7.5 to BPC10. We are using SP17 right now.
We have invested several years in developing EVDRE reports (many of them) in the BPC7 environment and hence we are trying to make use of many of the EVDRE templates in BPC10.
In BPC10, you have to go to an EVDRE sheet before the "Expand" menu become available (what a pain!), I have written an Excel macro that made use of the EPM API to "Expand Active Workbook" by clicking a button. Here is the code:
'//////////////
Public EPMApi as New FPMXLClient.EPMAddInAutomation
Sub ExpandActiveWorkbook ()
EPMApi.ExpandActiveWorkbook
End Sub
'///////////
The code seems to work most of time... However, in a few occasions (seems pretty random!), I noted that one or two sheets did not get expanded or refreshed (or may have gotten refreshed but data was not downloaded). This is not good as I have >40 sheets in a file! Imagine the tasks of having to check every sheet just to make sure data is downloaded properly after expanding or refreshing? Note in BPC7.5, the macros (based on MNU_ETOOLS_xxxx) worked great (never had any issues).
I wonder if anyone has encountered similar issues (using VBA code or just Expand Workbook from the EPM menu bar)?
In addition, I wonder if anyone has a fix to make ExpandActiveWorkbook run reliably (any options to set? different expand/refresh commands, etc.).
Thank you very much for your insights and help in advance!
Ken
