4.6 GXA Formula for Account Values
Use the GXA formula to retrieve account balances for a particular ledger/book, in a specific format, for a
specified time period.
Note: The GXA formula has been retained for backwards compatiability with prior releases of Spreadsheet
Server. The GXL formula has been created to replace the GXA formula. Refer to
GXL Formula for Account Values for more information.
Syntax - Version 4.05:
=GXA("Account String","Datagroup","Format","Period")
Syntax - Version 6+:
=GXA("Account String","Ledger","Book","Year","Format","Period","Library")
Note: It is most common to use cell references within GXA formulas to identify parameters.
Parameters:

range, value list or segment list.
