Data Management • FinancialLink is great for getting report summaries • Sometimes we need something more customized • Use Operating Ledger Detail Transaction or QueryLink to get more data
Operating Ledger Detail • Great for getting data without using QueryLink • Can run by account code or rule class • 638070 = office supplies • FE54 = High risk ENPETS • X = All Express Card Transactions • Good for downloading and using Excel AutoFilter or Pivot Tables
What is a pivot table? • A tool to quickly summarize data • A way to graphically change a table’s structure • Can allow cross tabs, summaries, totals, etc.
Other Examples of Pivot Tables • Group expenses by Fund, then index • Look at rule class XCRD & XXCD (express card transactions)
Other Examples of Pivot Tables • Check how many express cards transaction are being used on each index • Right click on data, change “Field Settings” to “Count”
Pivot Tables in Excel 2007 • Excel 2007 has a different interface for Pivot Tables • Easy to implement styles and themes
Conclusion • Questions? • Come practice at the Fiscal Café. • Thank you!
