Selecting elements within a range

In the Select Elements dialog of a report book report, you can select elements within a range or in a range over levels. A range over levels selects all elements, at all levels, between the beginning and end of the selection. For example, Range over level FROM "2008_Q4" TO "2009_Q1" returns " 2008_Q4, October, November, December, 2009, 2009_Q1" .

In contrast, Range FROM "2008_Q4" TO "2009_Q1" returns 2008_Q4 and 2009_Q1.

To select by range or range over level:

  1. Highlight the names of the first and last elements within the range.
    Do not select the check boxes of the elements.
  2. Click Range > Range or Range > Range over Levels .
