INFO() Function

The INFO() function in Jedox Web returns different information than its Excel Add-in counterpart.

The table below shows how the function works in Jedox Web, with its different arguments, a result example, and its purpose:

Function

Result example

Purpose

=INFO(“numfile”)

3

Shows number of active worksheets in the open workbooks

=INFO(“osversion”)

Windows

Shows name of the host OS

=INFO(“release”)

6.0.4.7814

Shows exact version of Jedox Spreadsheet Server

=INFO(“currentuser”)

admin

Shows name of the user currently logged in

=INFO(“currentlanguage”)

en_US

Shows the language set for the current user

Example for =INFO(“usergroups”): Array function in range of 4 cells

{=INFO(“usergroups”)}

designer

Lists the usergroups the current user is part of in an array

{=INFO(“usergroups”)}

sales

{=INFO(“usergroups”)}

marketing

{=INFO(“usergroups”)}

#NV

You can use the MATCH() and INFO("usergroups") function to check whether a user is a member of a particular group. For example, to check whether a user is a member of the "sales" group, you would use the following function:

=MATCH("sales",INFO("usergroups"),0)

If the user is a member of the group, the function returns the position in the usergroup array for the group. If the user is not a member of the group, the function returns #N/A.

Note: if group memberships are created in the same session as the test above, the result will be #N/A. Just start a new session and run the function again.
