You want to change some or all of the values that you have already specified for characteristics in a matrix. To do this, you can use one of the procedures described below.

Change the existing values by typing over them.

Two procedures are available for changing values by means of proposal lists:

• By a selection list:

1. Place the cursor on the cell you want to change.
2. When sets and/or single values, choose a value from the dropdown menu, for example the name of a specific consolidation unit. You can change hierarchies via the menu, because there is no dropdown menu for hierarchies.
3. If a dropdown menu appears, click on the desired value.
4. Choose OK.

• Using Interactive Excel, from where you go to the application menu for Consolidation:

1. Place the cursor on the cell in which the characteristic you want to change is located.
2. Choose Consolidation and then the relevant characteristic type and the characteristic.
3. When prompted, confirm that you want the existing value to be overwritten.
4. A dialog box appears with a list of values for the characteristic.
5. Select the appropriate value, check that the display format is correct and choose OK.
