Did you know that Planning Analytics for Excel (PAx) provides the ability to convert an existing view directly to a report in Excel? Without opening the view as an Exploration, you can start building your report directly from the Task Pane.
Just right-click on the view in the Task Pane to display the available options.
You will see the following options by hovering over the Quick report, Dynamic report, and Custom report items:
In this example, each of the items does the following:
- On this sheet: This will open the existing Planning Analytics view as a Quick report on the current Excel sheet at cell $A$1.
- On new sheet: This will open the view as a Quick report on a new sheet at cell $A$1.
- At current location: This will open the view as a Quick report at the cell that is currently active.
- At specified location: This will open a pop-up window that allows you to input the cell at which you would like the Quick report to appear. You can then enter the cell address and click OK to generate the Quick report, as shown in the following image.
