Spreadsheet Cell Value tokens provide a shortcut to data within a cell of a spreadsheet.  The data may be derived directly from statistics within the layout, keywords, or from data files in the data list. Inserting statistics for data files in the data list allows additional flexibility in analysis of many statistics for many data files that are not currently open in the layout. Spreadsheet Cell Value tokens may be used in text boxes or in the batch actions.

 

To insert a Spreadsheet Cell Value token in a text box or layout:

 

Drag and Drop method:

1.   Click and hold on the blue square in the lower right portion of the cell to be referenced (Figure 12.47 below).

 

 

 

2. Drag the cursor onto a blank section of the layout. A new text box will be created that contains the Spreadsheet Cell Value token.

3. Alternatively, Drag the cursor into an existing text box. The Spreadsheet Cell Value token will be inserted in the text box.

 

The drag and drop method may also be used to quickly populate Batch Actions as in Figure 12.48 below.

 

 

Right click method:

1. Right-click on a Text Box.

2. Select Insert Token from the pop-up menu. Scroll the list box until you see the Spreadsheet Cell Value token type, if necessary Figure 12.49.

3. Choose the Spreadsheet Cell Value token and click the Insert button.

 

 

Upon choosing to insert a Spreadsheet Cell Value token, the Create Spreadsheet Cell Value dialog will open (Figure 12.50). After selecting a spreadsheet as the Data Source, choose which Cell Address to derive the value inserted.

 

 

If a spreadsheet is not selected first as the Data Source before proceeding to Cell Address, a warning message will appear (Figure 12.51) prompting you Continue or Correct.

 

 

If OK is clicked before selecting Cell Address, a warning message will appear (Figure 12.52) prompting you Continue or Correct.
