Work with Excel Objects
Excel objects are primarily used to work with data values in CDM.
When an Excel object is added to a report, the Excel object has no data. You can reference and display data from the database or an external source in the Excel object and add data manually.
Note: Any Alt Text added to Excel object charts, tables, name ranges, or print areas is maintained when referenced in generated Word objects.
Important: Excel objects in CDM have the same functionality as Microsoft™ Excel. The advanced functionality for Microsoft products is beyond the scope of this guide. However, some topics are included for your convenience. For more information, see the Microsoft documentation. Depending on the version of Microsoft Excel that is installed on your computer, some of the steps that you must follow might vary slightly.
