Excel Web (EWS) schedules are data entry schedules that use an Excel interface. You still select dimension values, enter comments, email, and print an EWS using the same steps as those for the Financial Consolidation data entry schedule.

By default, you can total amounts in an EWS using a spread formula. For example, if you need totals that are not produced by simple sub-totals, you can add rows to the EWS and use Excel spread-type formulas. These rows are not included in the spread calculations, unlike the Financial Consolidation schedule rows.

If authorized by your administrator, you can enter data in an EWS.

• If the administrator activates the planning features, the schedules will open in Excel and you will have access to the specific planning functionality.
• If the administrator does not activate the planning features, the schedules will open by default in Excel but you will not have access to the specific planning functionality. Users will however have the option of opening the schedules in Excel.
