Miscellaneous Features 84
8.5.2 Expand Multiple Source Lines
Note: The example shown below is for Version 6+.
1. Create a standard Spreadsheet Server report for the GXL formula using Build a Template (see
Build a Template). The multiple report lines become the basis for the expanded report. When the process is
executed the lines will be expanded into individual account lines and placed into the final formatted worksheet
(see below).
The example below shows a report based on individual account masks.
· GXL formulas are created on multiple lines. In the example, the account string parameters are shown in
cells B10:D12. The balance parameters of the GXL (ledger, book, year, format, period) are entered in each
column heading (B1:E5). The actual GXL formulas are contained in cells B15:B17, C15:C17, D15:D17, and
E15:E17.
· Various literals are entered in cells F15:G17. This designation will generate the associated value into that
particular column. Valid literals are ACCTNUM (account number), ACCTDESC (account description), and
ACCTSEGnn (where nn equals the account segment number, such as 01, 02, 03, etc). See
Expand a Single Source Line for an ACCTSEGnn example.
Note: The maximum number of columns to be expanded is based upon an option in the user settings.
2. Using Build a Template (see Build a Template) for the GXE formula, define the parameters and starting
column and row for the formula.
