Nothing works. Despite

IDEAScript editor randomly destroying my variables
Forums
Hi all
I've got a weird issue with the IDEAScript editor when working on my script to do ODBC imports.
Using the below example of my function to import a general ledger, if I run the script it works 100% perfectly, giving me exactly the data I need. But if instead I open in IDEAScript editor then my query(0) line gets wiped out entirely and replaced with an exact copy of the line above it (ie: table = "PostGL")
array to hold multiple fields
Forums
Hi all
I've had a look at the script here to get an idea of how to hold multiple fields in an array
https://ideascripting.com/snippet/array-hold-all-field-information
Tried adapting it to my own script, attached (quite new to this so sorry if my script is hideous)
note I've trimmed out some of the stuff from my script like menus/functions that aren't applicable to this question

Check if excel workbook is open
Forums
Hi Brian,
I hope you are well.
I'm running a macro that creates an excel output file.
If the macro has been run previously, and the user has that excel output file open, the macro will crash when it tries to export.
To avoid this, I would like to use my script to check if any previously exported excel file is open.

I have table A with columns "CustomerNo.", "Period" and "Amount" that has ~ 5M records.I need to calculate a rolling total over a period of 12 months before "Period".

tagging a file as "GeneralLedgerDetails"-file
Forums
Hi together,
I have the following problem:
In Germany we use IDEA11 with the SmatrAnalyzer. Included is the main module "Auswahl und Durchführung von Prüfungsschritten" where You have several audit routines, which are tagged with special IDEA-Tables (especially "Standardjournal" = GeneralLedgerDetails).
Is there a possibility to tag a new table via IDEA Script as file that has all fields, necessary for a "GeneralLedgerDetails"-file?
Thanks
Martin
