Summary
This article describes how to use Content Grouping to burst a single document then group the results into a single Excel file (workbook).
Example
A report returns CITY data. A simple refresh and publication of the report in Excel format results in a single Excel worksheet (tab) containing all CITY data. The requirement is to produce an Excel workbook where each worksheet contains a different set of CITY data. To achieve this requirement, the report is burst by CITY. Content Grouping (by Burst) is then used to group the individual CITY outputs into a single Excel workbook.
- Build a Burst
- Configure Content Grouping
- Select Excel grouping
- Select Grouping type Burst
- Add custom tab name (optional)
Tab Naming
When bursting a single document and grouping the resulting reports to Excel, custom tab names can be defined. By default, worksheets (tabs) are auto-named, using the original report tab name appended with the bursting value (example = SUMMARY_ARIZONA). Worksheet names can be customized using the [$XLTAB] macro in combination with other system macros or static text.
Macro Example
[$XLTAB] - [=STATE] - [TODAY,MM-DD-YY]
Result
SUMMARY - ARIZONA - 09-18-13
