SCORE Function

=NOV.SCORE(company, rubric, reportingPeriod, fieldName)

Description

The SCORE function fetches a company's scorecard total for a rubric and reporting period from the Novata API, so you can place a score directly in any cell.

Parameters

Parameter Type Required Description
company String Required Company name as shown on the scorecard (e.g. "The Clean Co"), or its Company Id.
rubric String Required Rubric name (e.g. "ESG Rubric") or Rubric Id. A name always means the active rubric; use the Rubric Id for an archived rubric.

Important Notes

Note:
  • Company, rubric, category and question names match what the Scorecard Management panel inserts, ignoring case and surrounding spaces.
  • A rubric name only matches the active rubric. For a rubric that has been archived, use its Rubric Id.
  • Archived scorecards are ignored.
  • Field names are case-sensitive. Use the exact field names listed above.
  • Make sure you're logged into the Novata Excel Add-in before using this function.
