Quick Excel report – Dynamics Ax 2009

Excel is the most convenient software to examine changes in data. Specially when you have made them code and wanted it to be tracked. That’s is one of the many reasons why excel tops to be the most used software in the world.
This article in detail will tell you how to create an ad hoc excel sheet just in case you wanted to show data changes, compile information from different tables etc.

static void JobExportToExcel(Args _args)
{
SalesLine salesLine, oldSalesLine;
str text;
TextIO io;
#WinAPI
;
//Column header for the excel. The header fields and the data field must match
//in number and order
//You can use anything as a delimiter but # is convenient as this rarely appears
//as data (other choices ~, |)
text = 'Order # Customer # Item # Lot id # New tax group # Old tax group \n';
select * from salesLine
where salesLine.TaxItemGroup == 'GST' ||
salesLine.TaxItemGroup == 'Free';
while (salesLine)
{
//save this incase you wanted to show the old value
oldSalesLine = salesLine.orig();
if (salesLine.TaxItemGroup == 'GST')
{
salesLine.TaxItemGroup = 'CAPITAL';
}
else
{
salesLine.TaxItemGroup = 'Free';
}
//append the text
text += strfmt('%1 # %2 # %3 # %4 # %5 # %6 \n', salesLine.SalesId, salesLine.CustAccount, salesLine.ItemId, salesLine.InventTransId, salesLine.TaxItemGroup, oldSalesLine.TaxItemGroup);
//do it after the update text otherwise you loose the orig
salesLine.update();
next salesLine;
}
//So far no excel :-)...that comes later
io = new TextIO(WinAPI::getFolderPath(#CSIDL_DESKTOPDIRECTORY) + '\\exportToExcel.txt', 'w');
io.write(text);
}

step 1. Create a delimited text IO file through a job as shown above
step 2. Open Excel (Don’t try rightclick open with).
setp 3. Click Open file -> Select “ALL files” in the export dialog
step 4: select the textIO file that was recently given
step 5: Specify delimited in the dialog and enter the delimiter (# in this case)
step 6. Click finish your data is in. Just format the column size.

Mark All for Open Cust Trans and Open Vend Trans

We have situations where there are lots of open transactions that need to be settled against each other. This can be the case if auto settlement is turned off. One solution is to add a "Mark All" button to the custOpenTrans or vendOpenTrans forms. This button "checks" the mark checkbox on every line. The user can then uncheck several lines if needed and Update to settle the lines. The code below is an example of what we used on the open vendor transaction screen. The code is very similar on the AR side. One note: I used vendTable.AccountNum in the code below. That should be generalized to work with any buffer that is passed into the open trans form. void customMarkAll() { VendTransOpen localVendTransOpen; VendTrans localVendTrans; container conSum; int linesProcessed; ; //show wait cursor startLengthyOperation(); element.lock(); //remove all prior markings specOffsetVoucher.deleteSpe...
