MR Worsheet Link. Does anyone know what this is? In the Link to FD column there is a link type called Management Reporter Worksheet. I have never seen this before and thought maybe it came with the lastest SP? Does anyone know how to use it?

Does anyone know what this is? In the Link to FD column there is a link type called Management Reporter Worksheet. I have never seen this before and thought maybe it came with the lastest SP? Does anyone know how to use it? Maybe it is a replacement for row linkng? (We hope!)

Take a look at this MSDN article, which references Management Reporter Worksheets as reporting units. The language changes back and forth a couple of times, but the implication is Management Reporter Worksheets are Management Reporter reports. I have yet to use this feature, so I would love to hear how any experimentation you do works out.

Hello Debra,

Did you ever get a real answer to this question? I didn't find any of the responses very helpful. No one really said what the Management Reporter Worksheet is for. I use row format linking heavily in FRx and can not find a suitable replacement in MR 2012. Thanks for any help you can provide!

Sorry, then this is a link to another blog post that covers this: blogs.msdn.com/.../10194001.aspx

Are you sure you're not talking about "External Worksheet". That is a different option that Management Rerporter Worksheet.

When comparing FRx 6.7 sp11 and Management Reporter 2012 RU4. . . I found that all the Row link options in FRx were the same as the Row links in MR except for one different (see **** below).

MR2012RU4

Financial Dimensions

External Worksheet

Financial Dimensions and Worksheet

****Management Rerporter Worksheet

XBRL Taxonomy

FRX6.7SP11

General Ledger

****Row Format

External Worksheet

GL + Worksheet

XBRL

We used the Row format option heavily in Frx and want to take advantage of it in MR, I think it would match up to the "Management Reporter Worksheet" but I don't know how to use it.

This field provides the ability to get data from an Excel file as the source for the financial information. This post has additional info: blogs.msdn.com/.../management-reporter-quick-tips-on-linking-to-microsoft-excel-workbooks.aspx
