Hi 

 

Pls can you help :

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The formula for 'EMP02 Employee Expenses By Dept & Role'.Bonus is invalid:

Bonus = IF Employed? THEN Salary * 'EMP03 Employee Drivers by Role'.Bonus %[LOOKUP: 'SYS08 Employee Details'.Department, LOOKUP: 'SYS08 Employee Details'.Role] ELSE 0

'EMP03 Employee Drivers by Role'.Bonus % is not a recognized line item or list member

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Is it something to do with the data type? if so is it in SYS08 or EMP03.

 

Appreciate your help.

 

Regards

 

Richard

    If you look at your formula your module name is EMP03 Employee Drivers by Role which is the correct name but in your screenshot name of the module is EMP03 Employee Drivers by Dept & Role.   Change the name of  your module to EMP03 Employee Drivers by Role  and your formula should work.

     

    Let me know if it doesn't.

    Initial reaction : Looks like you have written/typed the name of your line item Bonus % in your formula. Can you just refer and click on the line item Bonus % . I think it needs to be in single quotes as it contains a special character %.

    Can you please check the format of the line items in your SYS08 Employee Details module

     

    1. Department - has to be list formatted on Departments

    2. Role - has to be list formatted on Role

    Hi Misbah

     

    SYS08 Data is imported from a emplee detail by role txt file that has Role populated,  so the format cannot be a list:Role...i guess.

    Sir, you got to make it list formatted in order for LOOKUPs to work. You can import into list formatted line item as well.

    IF Employed? THEN Salary * 'EMP03 Employee Drivers by Role'.Bonus %[LOOKUP: 'SYS08 Employee Details'.Department, LOOKUP: 'SYS08 Employee Details'.Role] ELSE 0
    IF Employed? THEN 'EMP03 Employee Drivers by Role'.Car Allowance[LOOKUP: 'SYS08 Employee Details'.Department, LOOKUP: 'SYS08 Employee Details'.Role] ELSE 0
    IF Employed? THEN 'EMP03 Employee Drivers by Role'.Phone Allowance[LOOKUP: 'SYS08 Employee Details'.Department, LOOKUP: 'SYS08 Employee Details'.Role] ELSE 0

    IF Employed? THEN 'EMP03 Employee Drivers by Role'.Medical Benefit[LOOKUP: 'SYS08 Employee Details'.Department, LOOKUP: 'SYS08 Employee Details'.Role] ELSE 0

     

     

    Hi Misbah
