I use this trick on LXs and MAP 40/100s.
1) Use ASA to to export a list of all the subscribers in Audix
a. This is done by using the Export Data function in ASA under Advanced (on the left)
i. Note: Select Audix, but do not log in.
ii. Select “Export Fields to File”
iii. Map it somewhere easy to find (like Documents)
2) Let Excel do the heavy lifting
a. Get the exported txt file into Excel (if export as tab, none, import it as tab none)
b. Use Concatenate to make entries for a batch run
i. =CONCATENATE("li meas sub mon ", A1," 01/12 ;") to get something that resembles list measurements subscriber month Extension 01/12;
ii. Apply this formula to the remaining subscribers
iii. Take the new entries and copy and paste them back in as “Text Only”
iv. Copy manageable amounts of the commands ( for 1k subscribers, you might need to do this in sections of 2 or 3) and use the Paste Special “Transpose” option to paste then into another Tab, or section of Excel.
v. Select this newly creates horizontal group and paste it into Notepad
vi. Copy it from Notepad and paste it into Word
vii. Use Find/Replace to Find all the “tab” spaces and replace with nothing (blank).
viii. Select all and paste back into Notepad (this makes it ASCII again)
3) Use ASA to run a “Report” (Under the Advanced tab just like before)
a. Make sure to “Export Fields to file”
b. Paste in the new “batch” (only run a couple hundred at a time)
4) Back to Excel
a. Import the results back into excel (Tab/None, or whatever you exported it as)
b. Sort by the first field and remove all the garbage
c. Resort by the Subscriber number (its now a few months of usage)
d. Sum the fields that indicate usage. You can use the Reports manual to ID these fields (Most likely going to be 2 groups 1 =SUM(E2:AM2) and 2= =SUM(AP2:CG2)
e. Sum the 2 Groups
f. Create a Pivot Table to get a MAX usage for all of the months (or import into a database and run a query)Zero = Damn Safe to remove
5) You now have a really good list to start with (use discretion on the accounts, don’t blow out a new hire or VP )
6) Use the same principal to “remove sub XXXX” and you will have a nice export to rebuild any mistakes
Test, Test, Test!!! Using a batch could be career ender if you’re not paying attention.
