Shape the future of IBM!
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Post your ideas
IBM is transforming its request for enhancement (RFE) process. The purpose of the transformation is to provide a more consistent experience for you to submit requests and to enable IBM product owners to respond to your requests more quickly. For more information click here.
Start by posting ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,
1. Post an idea
2. Upvote ideas that matter most to you
3. Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea
Help IBM prioritize your ideas and requests
The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The offering manager team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.
Receive notifications on the decision
Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.
Enhancement request to create EVAL() function to calculate final value from excel formula
My input is Excel (excel adapter). Excel cell is having mathematical functions (ex: =100+200-50). While execution data is reading as 100+200-50. But my requirement is to map the final value i.e 250.

How will this idea be used?
Excel file will have many formulas, out of that we mainly use addition, subtraction and multiplication. By default we have to create fields with text format in type tree to pass the input side validation. So if we want to achieve this functionality we have to use many word, find, countstring functions to calculate the final value. So it is better we create EVAL() function to calculate the final value.

Similar functionality can be accomplished via a map rule. We do see this could have some utility, but would not be able to prioritize this in the course of the next 12 months. Please resubmit next year if you feel this would still be of value
