Expand or Collapse Row for a GXL Formula

The Expand GL Row feature allows users to expand the balances for GXLs in a single row, or for all GXLs in the worksheet to individual account details. During the process, the system expands data and/or formulas in the columns to the right or left of the GXL formulas. This process is similar to the GXE formula, but expands into additional rows in the current worksheet, rather of to another designated workbook location. A maximum of 80 columns may be expanded. The detail rows will expand up or down, convert null segment values to an asterisk ( * ) or empty cell, and exclude zero balance accounts based on options in the user's Spreadsheet Server Settings

Note:
  • For the Expand GL Row to function properly, all parameters must be in a column, at least one account segment must be in the row, and a description field should follow the last account segment in the row, or a blank column should exist between the last account segment and the GXL formula.

  • Expand GL Row will not function if a GXL formula references a hardcoded segment value.

  • If the original GXL contains an @ field, the expanded rows display the appropriate account segment and associated @ field value; calculated amounts may be overstated and not foot to the original GXL-calculated amount, however.

  • If a SUM formula uses a range to reference cells to be totaled, this calculation will be incorrect when expanding GL rows, whether up or down.
