Essbase Add-In Functions
I am working with macros written by a former employee, and these macros do
essbase retrieves with the following code: Declare Function EssMenuVRetrieve Lib "ESSEXCLN.XLL" () As Long Declare Function EssMenuVDisconnect Lib "ESSEXCLN.XLL" () As Long Declare Function EssMenuVConnect Lib "ESSEXCLN.XLL" () As Long Declare Function EssMenuVOptions Lib "ESSEXCLN.XLL" () As Long X = EssMenuVRetrieve My question is this: Are these functions part of the Essbase Add-In? I assume they are. And how do I learn about these functions so that I can use them in my code. Mosly I would like to know how to have Essbase Zoom in one level, or Zoom in through all levels. Also, wouldn't the code "EssMenuVRetrieve" (without the "X =") accomplish the same thing as "X = EssMenuVRetrieve"? Forgive my ignorance, I've written many sub routines, but never really used functions before. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Keith |

Essbase Add-In Functions
Yes that is all Essbase stuff. To find out more in Excel Click on Help -
Essbase Help - Index - EssGet... to find out more about all of the functions that you can use... In terms of the x that will hold the return value of the function. The majority of the functions that you will be using the return value will indicate the success or failure of that funtion. For example if the EssVConnect function is successful then it iwll return a 0 otherwise it will return some other number. You should always check the return values to see fi the funciton completed successfully or not. All of the Examples in the help do not check the return value... In terms of doing zoom in or any of those other functions they are covered in the help EssVZoomIn... -- HTH...
