16. 4. Export customization using
Excel Macros

17. https://www.visiblethread.com/products/visiblethread-docs/
Why customize Excel Outputs?
 Need to do further manipulation on the default outputs
 Constant request from customers
 Issue is that it’s an infinite set of things
 For Example:
– Flag certain FAR clauses with colors eg: flowdowns
– Massage outputs for import into 3rd party systems
– Reformat column headings, positions or titles
– Pull out dates or $ values into their own column
– The possibilities are infinite…

18. https://www.visiblethread.com/products/visiblethread-docs/
How it works – part 1
 We use Excel Macros to do the post
processing.
 These are .xlsm files
 Step 1 – customize and set the file into
your environment
 Step 2 – export the report (eg:
compliance matrix) and
 Step 3 – run the Macro

then “Enable Content” to use the macros. Just standard Excel Behavior.
