Expected Values

For a properly generated instance in CDM, form cells must be formatted according to the type of data that is entered.

To avoid errors, follow these tips:

  • Monetary data points are formatted as Currency and/or Numeric.
  • Integer data points are formatted as Numeric with no decimal places.
  • Format as percentage the Excel cells in forms before you enter values or data.
  • Boolean data points receive one of these possible values: true, false, 0, or 1.
  • QName type cells accept as values the appropriate MemberXBRLCode for values that are reported. The user must insert the value for QName. They should be formatted as General or Text.
  • String data points are formatted as General or Text.

For a percentage:
