It is often necessary to change the behaviour of a formula depending on wether it is being called from the current calendar or a retro calendar. This tip shows you a simple method for determining if a formula is being processed in the current calendar. <\/p>\n
The \u201cCURR PRD CAL ID\u201d System Element returns the Calendar ID of the current period to be processed.<\/p>\n
The \u201cCAL ID\u201d System Element returns the calendar ID from the calendar currently being processed<\/p>\n
By comparing the \u201cCURR PRD CAL ID\u201d and \u201cCAL ID\u201d we can check if a formula is being processed in the current Calendar\/Period, as apposed to a retro Calendar\/Period. If the \u201cCURR PRD CAL ID\u201d and \u201cCAL ID\u201d are equal, the formula is being processed in the current Calendar.<\/p>\n
The following formula excerpt shows this logic in an If construct:<\/p>\n
IF SY[CURR PRD CAL ID] = SY[CAL ID] THEN
\n\tProcess in current period only
\nELSE
\n\tProcess in retro periods only
\nENDIF<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
