- Export XBRL reports to EXCEL using formulas that obtains the information from the XBRL Database
This feature allows business users to easily substitute parameters for the formulas generated and create dynamic Excel sheets that obtains data from the XBRL Database for whatever purposes the user wants to. For example:
- Explore taxonomy content, search for concepts across all stored taxonomies and perform other complex operations

- Calculate ratios from the reported values and compare ratios across multiple companies
- Prepare an excel spreadsheet for multiple periods of time even if the data has still not arrived to the XBRL Database
- Prepare an excel spreadsheet for multiple companies
