Select a report suite

You can select a report suite from the drop-down menu or select a report suite from a cell and automatically update your data block with a new report suite.

Select report suite from a cell

Selecting a report suite from a cell makes it easy to refresh data blocks using different report suites. Instead of creating completely new reports with separate data blocks, you can refresh data blocks with a report suite selected from a cell.

Selecting a report suite from a cell is helpful when you have:

  • Multiple report suites that are similar or identical to each other in structure.
  • Complicated data block formats that include customized components and layouts.

To select a report suite from a cell, first build a data block and assign multiple report suites to a cell outside of your data block. Then, use the Report suite from cell panel to refresh your data blocks from different report suites.

  1. Create a data block. For information about creating a data block, see Create a data block.

  2. Select DataViewSelector in Report suites.

  3. Select a cell using DataBlockSelector outside of the data block.

  4. Add one or more report suites from the Select report suites to add to report suite from cell using drag and drop. Alternatively, you can double select a report suite to add the report suite to the Report suites included list.

    • You can use Search Select report suites to search for report suites.
    • Use MoreSmall to open a context menu so you can move report suites up or down in the Report suites included list.
    • Use CrossSize75 to delete a report suite from the Report suites included list.

    Select report suite from a cell {modal="regular"}

  5. Select Apply to apply the selected report suites to the selected cell.

Change the report suite from a cell

  1. Select the report suite cell location in your sheet.

  2. In the Report Builder hub, select the Report suites from cell link in Quick edit.

  3. Select a report suite from the Report suite drop-down menu.

    Change report suite from a cell {modal="regular"}

  4. Optional, select Refresh data block(s) upon change.

  5. Select Apply. Report Builder refreshes the data block based on the selected report suite.
