GEXD Targeting a Cell

The following example demonstrates targeting a cell as the Target Cell/Range/Table value:

  1. 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 the GEXD (459).
    • Cell B4: the user-assigned literal, indicating what type of formula will be used (GEXD Formula).
    • Cell C4: the location where the GEXD formula will reside.
    • Cells A6-H6: represents report headers (manually entered).
    • Cells A7-G7: represents the first row of output data.
    • Cell H7: identifies the fill down column formula (D7*.09).
  2. 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 (Cell).
    • Target Cell: indicates the starting cell of the output data (A7).
    • 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 a Range of Cells: indicates the area of output data to be cleared, prior to executing the GEXD formula. As this example contains a fill down column (H7), the clear range starts on the second row of output data (A8:H500), allowing the fill down formula to remain for future executions of the GEXD.
    • Vendor #: indicates the cell in the worksheet where the query parameter resides (A4).
  3. The completed worksheet after GEXD execution:
