Following Guidelines During the Tutorial
Keep in mind the following guidelines during this tutorial:
● Optional tasks that should not be performed as part of the tutorial are displayed in light-
shaded boxes. These tasks are included for your future reference. Find more information
on these tasks in the Essbase Spreadsheet Add-in online help.
● You must be connected to the Sample Basic database during the tutorial. If you are not
connected to this database, the illustrations presented in this chapter will not match the
worksheet view.
● To access many Essbase commands:
❍ Select the command from the Essbase menu
❍ Click the appropriate button on the Essbase toolbar
❍ For the Zoom In and Zoom Out commands, double-click either the primary or the
secondary mouse button
● Set the options in the Essbase Options dialog box as described in “Setting Essbase Options”
on page 29. If the option settings are different, the illustrations presented in this chapter
may not match the worksheet view.
● After you change a worksheet option in the Essbase Options dialog box, you must perform
a retrieval or a drill-down operation to have the new setting take effect.
● Be sure to follow each step in the tutorial. Each task builds upon the previous task. Do not
skip the final steps at the end of sections, because these steps are often necessary to prepare
you for the next tutorial task.
● If you make a mistake during the tutorial, you can select Essbase > FlashBack to return to
the previous worksheet view.
● The values in the Sample Basic database that represent ratios or percentages are calculated
to a very high level of precision (for example, 55.26162826). You can apply a cell format to
control the number of decimal places that are displayed in data values. For details on applying
cell formats, see the Excel documentation.
● Numeric values shown in the illustrations used throughout this tutorial may not match the
values stored in your database. The values shown in these illustrations reflect a freshly loaded
database.
● Some worksheet columns have been adjusted for clarity in the illustrations. You do not need
to change the width of columns in the worksheet to follow the tutorial steps. The Adjust
Columns option in the Display tab of the Essbase Options dialog box adjusts columns for
you.
