5.3 Insert a label and a value

  • Go to Report Data – items (leave Item list mode on Standard line items only for this quick start).

  • Filter ID or scroll to select a concept (e.g., Revenue), then choose Reporting Period (instant = single date; duration = date range).

  • Select a cell in the sheet and click Insert Label or Insert Value.

Reader: inserts the final number. Analyzer: inserts a dynamic formula that recalculates. For dimensional breakdowns, switch to Standard plus dimensional items — see Section 7.2.

5.4 Create a table

  • Open Report Data – tables.

  • Pick a link role (the layout of a table inside the report).

  • Click Insert. The add-in builds the table automatically: main lines, dimensional breakdowns, and remaining role concepts.

  • For finer control over period, unit, or axis members before insert, use Report Data – dimensional analysis (Section 7.5).

Reader: writes static, properly scaled values. Analyzer: writes dynamic formulas for labels and values.
