If your administrator has enabled Grid Spread as a data form property, you can specify an amount or percentage by which Planning increases or decreases values across multiple dimensions on the data form, based on the existing values in the target cells. You immediately see the result in the data form and can save the new data or discard it. When calculating the spread data, Planning ignores read-only and locked cells and cells having supporting detail. Data integrity is ensured by spreading values only to cells to which you have access.
Note: | The Time Balance property setting affects how data is spread with the Fill option. See How Spreading Data Works. |
To spread values using Grid Spread:
Put the cursor in the Subtotal or Total source cell whose value you want to spread to target cells.
To increase or decrease values by a specified amount, from Adjust Data, select By Value, select Increase by or Decrease by, and enter the value to spread.
To increase or decrease values by a percentage, from Adjust Data, select By Percentage, select Increase by or Decrease by, and enter the percent value.
To replace values with a new value, enter it in the Spread Value text box.
Select a spreading pattern, as described in the following table:
Your administrator can add other spreading patterns (described in the Oracle Hyperion Planning Administrator’s Online Help).
The specified value or percentage is spread across the target cells, replacing former values with new ones.
