This form is used to output Symphony queries to Excel. The form is invoked by clicking the Excel Report button on the toolbar. You can define queries in Statistics View.
 
The basic steps for generating reports to Excel are as follows:
 
1. Open the form. The queries that have been defined for the project will appear. Three queries called Codes Only, Default, and Respondent List are created when the project is created.
 
2. Open an Excel document you want to output to. If you have previously used the document with Symphony, queries that were linked to it will display the anchor cell.
 
3. Link one or more queries to cells in the document: click the anchor cell in the document, then click the Link to Document button.
 
4. Click the Run or Run All button.

Link to Document
Clicking this button creates a link for the currently selected query to the active cell in the Excel document. If a link for this query already exists to the document, it is moved to the new cell. The active cell serves as the top left column and row where output will begin. To link a query to a spread sheet, click the query in the List of Queries, click the cell in Excel where you want output to begin, then click the Link to Document button. The sheet and Cell will appear in the Cell column in the List of Queries.
