You have to include the 'hfcl' library.

This can be added in HMG-IDE configuration tab, additional libs.

East or West HMG is the Best.
South or North HMG is worth.
...the possibilities are endless.

I had updated the version 0.90 file with 0.91. The new feature is the possibility of filters.
East or West HMG is the Best.
South or North HMG is worth.

Rathi,
Thanks a lot for this excellent software :D
It works fine. I tested with the sample given (by looking at your screen images). It runs fine. :D And it is really fast :)
Please check one thing, output was not updated when I first selected a region (eg., East), it works fine when I clicked on the cell (East in my case) 2nd time.

I am very much interested in Sales Analysis software. May I use this with my future software?

Then I wanted to check whether it's idiot proof (like me ;) ) by double clicking on Filter grid without selecting anything and got following errors:

Code: Select all

Date:11/11/09 Time: 17:18:29
Error BASE/1111 Argument error: LEN

Estimado rathinagiri:


1- Si hago click sobre alguno de los campos de filtro antes de indicarle qué campos serán "ROW","COLUMMN" y "DATA"
aparecen errores.

2- En una nueva versión sería interesante que exista un botón de "REFRESH" para cuando se cambia algún filtro, de lo
contrario se debe hacer click en el DATACUBE y luego click en los campos de filtros para hacer "REFRESH" de el DATACUBE.

3- Para seleccionar filtros a veces ( cuando hay muchos registros ) se debe hacer doble click rápidamente sobre el campo
que se desea filtrar, de lo contrario muestra el mensaje "please wait while tabulating..." pero no trae los valores
(en el control) para poder seleccionar el valor por el que se desea filtrar. Si hago doble click sí los trae

4- Cuando se analizan datos con fechas, como por ejemplo ventas,se debe analizar por rangos de fechas, por lo que el
filtro actual en los campos FECHA no es cómodo, quizás sea conveniente antes de presionar el botón XTRACT poder
seleccionar de forma "SET FILTER TO" o similar.

5- Para no tener que ejecutar cada vez el mismo cubo o para analizar el resultado en otro momento o para trabajarlo con
otras herramientas sería interesante poder exportarlo a lo que tu quieras.

Quiero decirte que soy el FAN número uno de esta aplicación, creo que es un trabajo excelente.

Muchísimas gracias!

Dear rathinagiri:

Otherwise it should click on the DATACUBE and then click in the fields of filters to "REFRESH" to the DATACUBE.

3 - To select filters sometimes (when there are many records) you must double-click quickly on the field
to be filtered, otherwise it displays the message "please wait while Tabulating ..." but do not bring the values
(in control) to select the value for which you want to filter. If I double click it brings

4 - When analyzing data with dates, such as sales, must be analyzed by date ranges, so the
Current Filter DATE fields in not comfortable, it might be advisable before pressing the power button XTRACT
so select "SET FILTER TO" or similar.

5 - To avoid having to run each time the same cube or to analyze the result in another time or to work with
other tools would be useful to export it to what you want.

I tell you I'm the number one fan of this application, I think it's an excellent job.

Many thanks!

Sorry Tristan.

I am afraid you are using old HMG version. Had you updated to HMG 3.0 and HMG IDE for 3.0?

Or, you can simply add sampledata.prg to the sources and then recompile.
East or West HMG is the Best.
South or North HMG is worth.

Hi Fernando Chirico, Sudip and Vanguarda

Thanks for your compliments.

Now coming to your suggestions:

errors occur.
The next version is coming shortly without this bug. :)
fchirico wrote: 2 - In a new version would be interesting if there is a button "REFRESH" for when you change a filter, as

I had given the toolbar buttons to either auto-create the cube or cube is created only after pressing the refresh button. I think this would be enough.

This happens for a long table, especially having more number of rows/more number of columns. In that case, it is better to switch auto-cube off.

Filter options are just primitive. Soon you can expect a better filtering interface and options.

I am planning to export the result to MS Excel/Openoffice Calc. Do you have any other options?

I am sure your suggestions are more helpful for me in fine-tuning the software. Thanks a lot and continue your support in the future also.
