Simulation of Dealer Commissions with Matlab

Posted on December 22, 2013 by admin

As demonstrated in an earlier article dealer or sales commissions can easily be calculated with the .NET Calculation Engine finaquant® calcs.

This article demonstrates how changes in commission amounts can be simulated by varying selected table-valued inputs. In example presented here, the math software Matlab is connnected with the Calculation Engine implemented with finaquant® calcs in order to:

  1. Control the variation of selected inputs; Sales and Commission Scales.
  2. Reporting: Visualize the resultant total commissions with plot diagrams.

Finaquant’s Matrix and Vector Functions

Posted on December 18, 2013 by admin

Both of our .NET libraries finaquant® protos (non-commercial) and finaquant® calcs (commercial) contain Matrix and Vector functions in addition to Table Functions. In fact, table functions are higher level constructs that are based on matrix and vector functions of the library.

You may find examples for Matrix and Vector functions in the Visual Studio file FinaquantCalcsStarter (or FinaquantProtosStarter) that you can download at the corresponding product page (see related downloads).

Visual Studio file FinaquantCalcsStarter

Parallel to field types of tables (text attribute, numeric attribute, key figure) there are three types of matrices and vectors:

  1. KeyMatrix/KeyVector (double)
  2. NumMatrix/NumVector (integer)
  3. TextMatrix/TextVector (string)

Here are some examples for creating matrices, and making operations with them: Continue reading →

Table Function Demo with Microsoft Excel

Posted on November 15, 2013 by admin

As mentioned earlier in a related article Table Functions of the .NET libraries finaquant® calcs (commercial) or finaquant® protos (non-commercial) can be called from an excel sheet.

Following example demonstrates:

  • How Table Functions can be called from excel macros (VBA)
  • Generally, excel-.NET integration: How C#/.NET methods can be called from within excel macros (VBA)
  • How data tables in excel worksheets can be read and written by C#/.NET methods
  • How simple parameters (string, integer, double) can be passed from excel macros to C#/.NET

Calling Table Functions from Excel

In order to run the demo with excel:

  1. Download and install finaquant® calcs, Calculation Engine based on Table Functions (.net library).
  2. Download and open the Visual Studio project CalcsExcelIntegration as Administrator (Right-mouse MS Visual Studio, Run as Administrator).
  3. Build (or rebuild if you have already built) the VS project (ensure “Register for COM interop” is checked as build option under Project Properties).
  4. Open the excel file named CalcsExcelDemo (double click) under the folder named Resources in VS project CalcsExcelIntegration.

Table Functions in Visual Basic (VB.net)

Posted on October 25, 2013 by admin

Table Functions of our .NET (dot net) libraries finaquant® protos (non-commercial) or finaquant® calcs (commercial) can be called in other .NET languages including Visual Basic.

The ability to call Table Functions in Visual Basic can make the transition from VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) macros to .net easier for excel user, as the syntax of VBA is similar to syntax of VB.net.

In order to use Table Functions in Visual Basic, first add a new project of type Visual Basic Console Application in Visual Studio.
Add a new console application project in Visual Studio

You can now use the Table Functions of finaquant libraries in your code file: Continue reading →
