splashing

Splashing refers to the distribution of values in a writable report according to a variety of rules. Because data is stored only in base elements, you cannot write back data to consolidated elements. But, with splashing you can specify how values written back to base elements affect the consolidated elements they form. You can select cells and change their values in the database. You might, for example, create a forecast for a year by increasing the values in a previous year by a particular percentage.
