Other Name Range Function (FSN.Range.OtherNames)

Other Name Range Function (FSN.Range.OtherNames)

The FSN.Range.OtherNames function returns a dynamic array that can be used to quickly build out worksheets that segment data based upon the other name. This is a specific type of Entity. Note that roll-up values will only show if the parent/child relationship are both other name type entities. The full parent/child hiearchy is viewable by using the full Entity function instead.

The syntax for the function is:

Argument NameInput InformationRequiredDefault Value
Include FilterSpecifies the other names to include. Multiple values can be specified by another dynamic array (e.g., using a named range, specifying a range of cells like E1:E10, etc) or concatenated as a string using the ^ character. Additionally, if the values are numeric wildcards and range values can be used such as 100-200, 10*, or 1*-20?0.NoInclude all other names
Exclude FilterSpecifies the other names to exclude. Values can be specified as they are in the Include FilterNoExclude none
SubsidiarySpecifies the subsidiary to use to determine the other names to return. Only other names that are valid for the subsidiary are returned.NoDoes not filter by subsidiary
Include BlankDetermines whether or not to include the <No Other Name> explicit blank value in the listNoTRUE
LevelSpecifies the maximum level of the hierarchy to return. A value of 2 will return all levels <= 2Includes all levels
Include InactiveSpecifies whether or not to return other names marked as IsInactive=T in NetSuiteFALSE (Excludes inactive)
Include RollupInclude rollup value (Hierarchy) for values with childrenTRUE (parent rollup Hierarchy values are returned)
Rollup OnlyIf TRUE, then only top-level rollup values are returnedNoFALSE
HorizontalControls whether the returned dynamic array spills vertically or horizontally. This values is useful when creating reports based on other names, where values are specified in a single row across the sheet.NoFALSE (returns a vertical list)
Rollup FirstWhen TRUE, returns the rollup (Hierarchy) values before the children. When false, the rollup value is returned after the childrenNoTRUE (Rollup value is returned first)
