Analyzing Your Custom Expense Report
Sections
A Section is an area of the report that has common formatting. It is common
for an Expense report to have more than one Section. For example, the
following sample Expense Report named Sample3.xlt contains several
Sections.
Because your Expense data maps to row and column areas of your final
report, different Sections require different definitions for the data mapping.
To create additional Sections with different mapping, you create
corresponding additional lines to the mapping table file named
Maptable.xls. This procedure is explained later in this appendix.
If a section contains cells for prepaid (company paid) expenses, you need
to create an additional line in the mapping table for “prepaid.” This will
count as an additional section in the mapping table. The only data that
differs in the prepaid section (from the non-prepaid section) is the row/
column numbers for the expense type.
Analyzing Your Custom Expense Report
If you already have a custom Excel expense report, you can use it with a
modified mapping table. However, before you can create a Maptable.xls file
that corresponds to your custom Expense Report, you must first analyze the
characteristics of your report.
Section 1
(not prepaid)
Section 2
(prepaid)
