Reporting budget values upstream
When a budget opens in live Excel, values are processed at each level of the structure.
- Values are calculated for the elements at the lowest level.
- Those results become the values for the parent elements at the next higher level.
- Processing continues upstream until all values are reported to the highest level at which the budget is applied.
Note
Calculations follow the expression defined for the budget.
Values are recalculated if they were modified since the budget was last opened.
