Exporting Data To Microsoft Excel X3
Exporting Data To Microsoft Excel X3
Excel report
When exporting to Excel, you are given the option of using an existing template, creating
a template, modifying a template, or using no template at all.
Select the Choose existing template option to create the report using an Excel
template.
Click the Selection icon at the Template field. The List of templates window
appears, from which you can select a template.
Only those templates matching the criteria defined for the template are available
for selection. For example, templates can be made available to only a specific
company.
This is the only option that will extract data from the entity selected and prompt you
to connect with a valid user ID and password.
Select the Create template option to create a new template in Excel using the data
from the entity (such as List).
Note: After installing Excel, you may need to click the Enable Editing button that
displays below the ribbon.
When exporting directly to Excel, the server settings and connection are automatically
set based on your browser connection.
When accessing Excel outside of Sage X3, you must define the server settings before
connecting.
If you click Connect and a server setting is not defined, you are prompted for the
server settings before getting the connection window.
The user ID and password entered are the same as those used when accessing
Sage X3 and all security defined applies.
The window that appears displays any filters or sorts that are defined.
Editing the current data source
To define filter and sort information for the current data source, click the Actions icon in
the Workbook settings window next to the Name field and then select Edit.
You can define filter information for each of the columns in the spreadsheet.
By clicking the Filter icon next to the column description, you can select the
operator and the values to define the filter.
Clear the Fetch all check box to limit the number of records retrieved.
In the Order bys section, you can define the extraction sorting order. You can select
multiple columns from the data source before selecting the ascending or descending
order option.
After defining the information, click Apply in the Right panel to apply the new
rows/columns to the spreadsheet.
The data from the data source selected is inserted at the current position of the cursor
in the Excel spreadsheet. This can be on the same tab or a new tab.
To publish as a document:
When Export is selected in the Right panel, the data is collected and an Excel icon is
added to the Export excel window. Click the Excel icon to view the spreadsheet in
Microsoft Excel.
After clicking the Excel icon to view the spreadsheet, all other options previously
discussed, such as adding data sources and connecting to a server are the same.
