How to include an Excel formula with a reference to a table in Invantive Control Excel add-in - exact-online

Question

I'm making a financial report in Excel using the data from Exact Online using the Invantive Control Excel Add-in. In Exact Online I have a classification for the General Ledgers. In my Excel file, I would like to match these classifications on my reporting schedule. Therefore, I made a table with a mapping of the Exact Online classifications and the reporting classifications.
Using the Invantive Control Excel add-in, I entered the following SQL query:
select periods_year_reportingyear_attr
, reportingperiod_attr
, division_code
, division_hid
, division_name
, periods_year_years_balance_code_attr
, periods_year_years_balance_description
, '=I_EOL_GL_ACTCLN_CODE($C{E,.,.,^+2,.}, $C{E,.,.,^+5,.})' verdichting_code
, '=I_EOL_GL_ACTCLN_DESCRIPTION($C{E,.,.,^+2,.}, $C{E,.,.,^+5,.})' verdichting_naam
, '=i_eol_bal_year_open($C{E,.,.,^+2,.} , $C{E,.,.,^,.}, $C{E,.,.,^+5,.}) + if($C{E,.,.,^+1,.} = 1, 0, i_eol_bal_pder($C{E,.,.,^+2,.},$C{E,.,.,^,.},1,$C{E,.,.,^+1,.}-1,$C{E,.,.,^+5,.}))' startsaldo
, balance
, '=i_eol_bal_year_open($C{E,.,.,^+2,.} , $C{E,.,.,^,.}, $C{E,.,.,^+5,.}) + i_eol_bal_pder($C{E,.,.,^+2,.},$C{E,.,.,^,.},1,$C{E,.,.,^+1,.},$C{E,.,.,^+5,.})' eindsaldo
, periods_year_years_balance_balancetype_attr
from balancelinesperperiod
order
by periods_year_reportingyear_attr
, reportingperiod_attr
, division_hid
, periods_year_years_balance_code_attr
, '=INDEX(tab_reporting[Reporting];MATCH(NUMBERVALUE($C{E,.,.,^+7,.});tab_reporting[GL Class - Code];0))'
In which tab_reporting is the name of a table with de mapping of the reporting classifications and the Exact Online. This table is on a different tab within Excel. I could send the Excel file upon request.
This last line of the query results in the following error message:
Syntax error between the two '*' on line 20, column 7:select periods_year_re...ance_code_attr, *'=INDEX(tab_reporting[Reporting];MATCH(NUMBERVALUE($C{E,.,.,^+7,.});tab_reporting[GLClass - Code];0))'*** Error: no viable alternative at input '=INDEX(tab_reporting[Reporting];MATCH(NUMBERVALUE($C{E,.,.,^+7,.});tab_reporting[GLClass - Code];0))''
and in more detail:

Answer 1

The problem is in the order by part of your query. Invantive SQL currently only allows column names in the order by clause. Omitting the last line in the order by fixes the issue. You can sort on fields constructed in the select though, like eindsaldo.
I am not sure why you were trying to sort on a formule that doesn't exist in the actual select statement, it seems unnecessary to me.
