Description

You’ve covered four sessions and are ready to get a fifth under your belt. You’ve done a lot with the Jedox platform so far, but make sure that you have the following prerequisites: You feel comfortable with the topics covered so far and can apply your newfound knowledge with confidence. You should have a report handy that you’re eager to use, either one you created yourself by following along with one or both of the sessions on reporting or one of the samples included in your free Jedox trial installation. When you have that report available, it’s time to dive deeper and enter your own new data into the system. Entering data in Jedox can be just as easy as typing your value into the corresponding cell though there are some exceptions, but you’ll learn how to deal with them in this session. You have seen how fast data entry is at the base element-level (where every single dimension is represented by base elements in an ad-hoc report, for instance) and have gotten introduced to some splashing commands, including for setting up data distribution along pre-defined ratios for planning scenarios. This lesson covers how to copy a selected area of data from one spreadsheet into one in Jedox, which takes a bit more effort than copy and paste but only just (hint: paste data in cube view). Other topics that will be covered include controlled writeback for when you don’t want data to land in your cube immediately, and some further steps like using named ranges.
