GEXD Targeting a Range
The following example demonstrates targeting a range as the Target Cell/Range/Table value:
- Initial Excel setup:
- Cell
A1
: identifies the user-defined report name (Open Invoices by Vendor
). - Cell
A3
: the user-assigned literal, indicating what the parameter value represents (Vendor #
). - Cell
A4
: identifies the parameter value needed to execute theGEXD
(459
). - Cell
B4
: the user-assigned literal, indicating what type of formula will be used (GEXD Formula
). - Cell
C4
: the location where theGEXD
formula will reside. - Cells
A6-H6
: represents report headers (manually entered). - Cells
A7-G7
: represents the range created in Excel for these cells (GEXDTargetRange
). - Cell
H7
: identifies the fill down column formula (D7*.09
), which will automatically be filled down based on the rows in the range when theGEXD
is generated. This column must be directly to the right of the range. - Formula Builder > GEXD panel setup:
-
Query Name: click the Browse button to select the query (
AP Open Invoices Count.EDQ
). -
Target Worksheet: click the drop-down list to select the worksheet for the output (
Sheet7
). -
Target Type: indicates the format of the output (
Range
). -
Target Range: indicates the name of the range for the output data (
GEXDTargetRange
). -
Fill Down Column: indicates the number of fill down columns at the end of the output data (
1
). -
Column Headings: indicates whether the
GEXD
formula output data retrieves headings from the query (not selected in this example, as the headings have previously been typed in the worksheet). -
Clear Range: indicates whether to clear the range of output data, prior to executing the
GEXD
formula. -
Vendor #: indicates the cell in the worksheet where the query parameter resides (
A4
). - The completed worksheet after
GEXD
execution:
