FN used to mark for footnotes whether a result comment exists for the Varid and the date defined by the offset. 

 

SYNTAX:

FN(Offset, VarNum)

Offset/Date: Sets the number of days from the start date of the report.  If the Offset is a date literal string (i.e. "07/16/2004") or refers to a cell with a date in it, it is assumed to be the date to check for a sample comment.

VarNum:  The variable Number to look for result comments for.  Can be a cell reference to a cell containing a variable number.

NOTES:

Use Locate, Daily Values and check the Footnote Result Comments to locate this formula.

EXAMPLES:

If the start date is 1/1/2000 and the offset is 1, the value from 1/1/2000 will be returned.  If the offset is 2, the value from 1/2/2000 will be returned and so forth.  Returns "*1" for the first footnote, "*2" for second, etc...

FN(1,1) Returns value from 1/1/2000 for var #1.

FN(2,1) Returns value from 1/2/2000 for var #1.
