Examples

The SI.DIMENSIONS converts a sequence of pairs (DimensionName, DimensionValue) into the matrix format that is usable by certain Velixo functions for Sage Intacct.

Syntax

SI.DIMENSIONS(ConnectionName, DimensionName, DimensionValue, [DimensionName], [DimensionValue]... [DimensionName], [DimensionValue])

The SI. DIMENSIONS function uses the following parameters:

Parameter	Required/Optional	Description
ConnectionName	Required	The name of the connection, as specified in the Connection Manager
DimensionName	Required	The name of the Dimension being used.
DimensionValue	Required	The value being applied to the DimensionName
DimensionName	Optional	The next Dimension being used
DimensionValue	Optional	The value being applied to the next DimensionName
...	...
DimensionName	Optional	The last Dimension being used.
DimensionValue	Optional	The value being applied to the last DimensionName

Examples

Example 1 - single dimension

Here is an example of the SI.DIMENSIONS function being used to provide the Dimensions parameter to the SI.TURNOVER function:

=SI.TURNOVER("Sage",,"10010","2019-12-01","2019-12-31","*", SI.DIMENSIONS("Sage","Department","200")

In this case, the SI.DIMENSIONS function is creating the necessary matrix composed of the Department dimension and the value to be used (200)

Example 2 - multiple different dimensions

Here is an example of the SI.DIMENSIONS function being used to provide the PROJECT and TASK dimensions to the SI.CLOSINGBALANCE function:

Example 3 - multiple values for a single dimension

Here is an example of the SI.DIMENSIONS function being used to provide multiple values for the Department dimension to the SI.CLOSINGBALANCE function:

Example 4 - cell references for both dimensions and values

Here is an example of the SI.DIMENSIONS function being used to provide the Dimensions parameter to the SI.BUDGETTURNOVER function:

In this case, the SI.DIMENSIONS function is creating the necessary matrix composed of the Project and Task dimensions and the values to be applied to each.

Note: As described in Using Dimensions, it is possible to also reference a N:N matrix with a similar same Name and Value structure. 

Considering the above example, SI.DIMENSIONS(J2,K2,J4,K4) can be replaced by a simple reference to J2:K3 (after removing the bank row between the two filled rows)
