Determining the Layout of the Expense Report
This section describes the layout considerations for the Expense Report and explains the
terms used for creating the report.
Labels
There are two kinds of labels that you need to define for your report: day/date and expense
type. Each kind of label can be either Fixed or Variable. A Fixed label means that the label
always appears as a header at the beginning of a row or column. If a label is not Fixed, it is
variable.
For example, a list table of expenses could have variable labels in the rows for day/date, and
variable labels in the columns for expense type. In this case, neither day/date or expense type
information would be “fixed” (as a header). Instead, the date and expense type information
would be filled into the cells of the spreadsheet as appropriate.
Examples of both Fixed and Variable labels appear in the sample expense templates.
Sections
A Section is an area of the report that has common formatting. It is common for an Expense
report to have more than one Section. For example, the following sample Expense Report
named Sample3.xlt contains several Sections.
