Add Splits and Rows
Audience: Planners who enter data in sheets.
In modeled sheets, you add new rows to add new records. You can also split rows in modeled sheets. For example, in a personnel sheet, an employee may split their time between departments. Split the employee record to allocate the resource by department.
In standard sheets, add splits to add rows. Splits break down data into further categories. For example, you have contributing factors for the Travel Expense data, including trade shows, seminars, speaking opportunities, and training expenses. Create splits to add as many lines as necessary to accommodate the travel expense. These splits roll up to the total travel expense account.
In cube sheets, add rows to expose otherwise suppressed rows. For example, if you have suppressed all rows with zeros and blanks, and you need to add data to one of those rows, adding a row reveals only the specified row, keeping the rest suppressed.
Prerequisites
Navigation
From the nav menu select Sheets, Assumptions, or Processes. Once you open a sheet, select a version and choose a level. You must choose a leaf level to edit cells.
Add Rows and Splits in Modeled Sheets
Add Rows
- Select Add Row from the toolbar.
- Right-click anywhere on the sheet and select Add Row.
- Right-click on any row and select Copy Row. The data of the whole row copies into a new row at the bottom of the sheet.
- Highlight multiple cells across rows, right-click and select Add x Rows or Copy x Rows (x being the number of rows selected). The same number of blank new rows, or copied rows, appear at the bottom of the sheet.
Update the data for each editable cell in the new row and save the sheet. New rows appear as the last visible row in the sheet. After you save, you may not see new rows if your filters hide them.
Add Splits in Modeled Sheets
Available if your admin enabled this setting.
To add splits, right-click on any cell of the row or its existing splits. Then, select Split Row. A new split appears below the parent row, or below the last split. Some cells are editable and some are read-only copies of the parent row.
Delete Rows or Splits
In plan versions, right-click on a row or multiple rows and select Delete Row or Delete x Rows. In actuals versions: you can delete splits only by erasing actuals. See Erase Actuals.
If you delete a row with splits, you delete all its splits too.
