Use Report Object Variables to Set a Display Range

You can use report object variables in an Excel object in CDM to set a display range so that only specific information (rows or columns) is displayed while other information is excluded when the report is generated.

The following figure illustrates a display range that points from the ##RS variable to the ##RE variable.
