Expand or Collapse Row for a GXL Formula
The Expand GL Row feature allows users to expand the balances for GXL
s in a single row, or for all GXL
s in the worksheet to individual account details. During the process, the system expands data and/or formulas in the columns to the right or left of the GXL
formulas. This process is similar to the GXE
formula, but expands into additional rows in the current worksheet, rather of to another designated workbook location. A maximum of 80 columns may be expanded. The detail rows will expand up or down, convert null segment values to an asterisk ( * ) or empty cell, and exclude zero balance accounts based on options in the user's Spreadsheet Server Settings
For the Expand GL Row to function properly, all parameters must be in a column, at least one account segment must be in the row, and a description field should follow the last account segment in the row, or a blank column should exist between the last account segment and the
GXL
formula.Expand GL Row will not function if a
GXL
formula references a hardcoded segment value.If the original
GXL
contains an @ field, the expanded rows display the appropriate account segment and associated @ field value; calculated amounts may be overstated and not foot to the originalGXL
-calculated amount, however.If a
SUM
formula uses a range to reference cells to be totaled, this calculation will be incorrect when expandingGL
rows, whether up or down.
