Expense Profile Data – Output to Excel

Improve your Expense Profile presentations through Zümmer’s Excel output feature

When the “Expense Profile With Actuals” Curve is selected for previewing or printing, in addition to the printed/previewable report, Zümmer generates an Excel spreadsheet supplemental file for the curve produced in the report.

The spreadsheet output file is stored in the Zummer/Output folder. In the illustration below, the Project MH-BL1-UP33 was selected for printing with the file listed. Note the file structure prefix consists of “EXP” then the next filename segment consists of the Project ID, “MH-BL1-UP33”. The final filename segment is a 5-digit computer system generate suffix.

Zümmer automatically saves the Expense Profile Data to an Excel File in the Output folder

The “EXP” file in the “Chart1” Tab contains the “Expense Profile With Actuals” Curves shown as below:
