You can export report data to a defined section of an existing Excel template.

...

This allows you to have a predefined header of information that is static and them populate an area of it with the PlanSwift data. 

...

First, you will need to set up your Excel sheet and define where the data will be populated. This is a pretty simple task. The two commands to add to your template are:

  • <begin data>
  • <end data>

On the left you see the Template file .xltx or .xlt - On the right you see the exported data that has populated between the data tags.

...

The space between the data tags must be large enough to accept the amount of data coming from PlanSwift.

Once your template is set up you can configure the report to show the data you need to export.

 to Excel so make sure the grid view is expanded to show all information.
