Steps: Manage Zeros and Blanks
You can control how the report shows or hides rows or columns with no data or zeros. Use user, workbook or selection properties. These settings follow the
OfficeConnect
rules of precedence. By default,
OfficeConnect
reports display zeros when: - No one has entered a value in the corresponding sheet cell.
- The cross sections of data do not exist. This happens when the account has a coarser time configuration than the column. Example: The account has monthly data when the column is displaying weekly data. Because there is no weekly data for the account, it displays a blank.
- The value entered on the corresponding cell in the worksheet is zero.
You can change the default so that zeros only display because a zero was actually entered.
Within the range of data linked to Adaptive Planning, you can manually hide rows or columns using the Excel, Hide capability. These rows and columns are impacted by the Hide Zeros & Blanks capability
if they contain all zeros.
