1.1
Worksheet Interface Introduction
With the Worksheet Interface (WI) program, you may export CLS account balances to a Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet, or to compatible programs such as Microsoft Excel, QuattroPro, Multiplan, Symphony or SuperCalc.
The Worksheet Interface is basically a spreadsheet-based report generator. You begin by using your spreadsheet program to define a report template. This template tells CLS which columns you want to appear in the spreadsheet, the accounts to be exported and how you want the accounts grouped.
The Worksheet Interface program follows the instructions in the template to extract account balances from a CLS ledger, combine them in the appropriate manner and transfer them to the new output spreadsheet. This ability to control the format of the transferred data significantly reduces the work you need to perform once the balances have been written to the new spreadsheet.
The Worksheet Interface program features: • Complete access to CLS account history and balances • Quick and easy transfer of data from CLS to a spreadsheet • Reusable sample templates The following instructions provide an introduction to using the Worksheet Interface to create report templates.
Notes: • This documentation assumes basic knowledge of Lotus 1-2-3 or a compatible spreadsheet program. • All users of Lotus 1-2-3 and compatible spreadsheet programs should use the .WK1 format when creating templates. • If you are using Microsoft Excel, save your template as a Lotus 1-2-3 .wk1 file, and use the .wk1 extension.
Shortcut: Press F1 at the TEMPLATE file name and OUTPUT file name prompts to select from templates and output files in the current data path. You may enter another path (e.g., \123\) and press F1 to select from the available files in that path.

Worksheet Interface Templates
A template defines the accounts and balances that will be extracted from CLS to appear on the related worksheet. A set of simple commands makes report design easy. Commands are inserted in a template as labels and define the contents of each column and row in the spreadsheet. A typical report might contain the following elements:
• Column Commands • Row Commands • General Commands • Native Cells • Format Specifications
Note: Cell-specific commands such as the Lotus Range command interfere with the transfer of data from CLS; do not use cell-specific commands when designing a template.
The following tables provide explanations and examples of the Worksheet Interface column, row, and general commands.
Column Commands Column Commands define the contents of each column on the spreadsheet: account number or description, current-period or year-to-date balances, history, budget figures, percentage of sales or total assets, ratios or formulas.
Template Position Place these commands in row 1 in any of the first 63 columns of the template.
Command Format Column commands must begin with !CL COL. Combine the key words below to create template column commands.

Row Commands Row Commands define accounts and account-ranges to be used by the spreadsheet.
4 – Worksheet Interface Templates CLS ~ Worksheet Interface™
Template Position Place these commands in the first column of the template beginning with row 2.
Command Format Row commands must begin with !CL. Follow the format below when creating template row commands.
Template Row Commands Row Commands - used to extract accounts from CLS Example/Comment !CL...followed by account numbers separated !CL 101, 102, 115:119, 130 causes data for accounts 101, 102, by colons, commas, or spaces. 115 through 119, and 130 to be extracted and transferred to a spreadsheet.
Assumes: NO-TITLES NO-TOTALS NO-GROUPS NO-ZEROS !CL BS-ACCOUNTS All Balance Sheet accounts are passed to the spreadsheet.
Assumes: TITLES TOTALS GROUPS NO-ZEROS !CL PL-ACCOUNTS All P&L accounts are passed to the spreadsheet.
Assumes: TITLES TOTALS GROUPS NO-ZEROS !CL ALL-ACCOUNTS All accounts are transferred to the spreadsheet. Assumes: NO-TITLES NO-TOTALS NO-GROUPS NO-ZEROS !CL SUM...followed by account numbers !CL SUM 115:119 - 102... separated by colons, commas, spaces, or plus Causes data for accounts 115 through 119 to be summed and and minus signs. subtracts the balances associated with account 102 from the total.
The result is transferred to the spreadsheet as one line. The default label is: (blank). !CL...followed by account numbers separated !CL 101 + 102 - 115:119 by colons, commas, spaces, and at least one This is an implied sum, and the result will be the same as if the plus or minus sign. SUM command had been used.
Worksheet Interface Templates – 5 CLS ~ Worksheet Interface™
Template Row Commands Row Commands - used to extract accounts from CLS Example/Comment !CL NET-INCOME Net income figure from the P&L. The result is transferred to the spreadsheet as one line. The default label is: CURRENT EARNINGS (DEFICIT) !CL REF-TOTAL !CL {1} 101:10299 !CL {2} SUM 101:14099 !CL {3} 150 160 170 !CL REF-TOTAL 2 - 1 + 3 The REF-TOTAL uses reference numbers placed in braces to identify Row Commands, and then allows the results to be added and subtracted. Works with all row commands except BS-ACCOUNTS and PL- ACCOUNTS. The default label is: TOTAL. Reference numbers may range from {1} - {199}. Row Commands which are not used in subsequent calculations do not have to be given reference numbers. Reference numbers must be defined in the template before they may be used in a REF-TOTAL.
Additional Key Words for Use with Template Row Commands These key words may be used to modify the row commands listed on the previous pages. Key Word Example/Comment REVERSE !CL REVERSE 101 !CL REVERSE 217:29999 !CL REVERSE ALL-ACCOUNTS !CL REVERSE SUM 211:22299 LABEL [..]
Reverses the sign of the figures transferred to the spreadsheet. LABEL !CL SUM 211:22299 LABEL [..] !CL NET-INCOME LABEL [Net Income] Attaches a label to summary totals created by the Worksheet Interface. DEPT !CL BS-ACCOUNTS DEPT 1 !CL REVERSE 217:29999 DEPT 1:17 The same options are available for column definition. Where a department range is specified, accounts will be summarized automatically, as in CLS. TITLES !CL ALL-ACCOUNTS TITLES ZEROS GROUPS TOTALS Overrides the default assumptions provided in the previous table of row GROUPS commands. ZEROS NO-TITLES !CL BS-ACCOUNTS NO-TITLES NO-GROUPS NO-TOTALS Overrides the default assumptions provided in the previous table of row NO-GROUPS commands. NO-ZEROS

General Key Words General key words insert specific information, such as the ledger name and current date, into a single spreadsheet cell.
Template Position Place these key words anywhere in the template spreadsheet. Keep in mind that placing them on the same line as a Row Command may cause the result to be overwritten in the output spreadsheet.
Command Format General key words must begin with !CL.
General Key Words Key Word Example/Comment !CL CP Inserts the current period number. !CL LEDGER-ID Inserts the CLS ledger I.D. !CL LEDGER-NAME Inserts the CLS ledger name. !CL LPE-DATE Inserts last year period-end date. !CL LPE-DATE (X) Inserts period-end date for period X (e.g., !CL LPE-DATE (2) inserts period-end date for period 2 of last year). Use (-X) to insert a period-end date that is X number of periods previous. !CL NP Inserts the number of fiscal periods !CL PE-DATE Inserts period-end date. !CL PE-DATE (X) Inserts period-end date for period X. Use (-X) to insert a period-end date that is X number of periods prior to the current one. !CL TODAY Inserts today's date (from CLS). !CL INDENT 5 Title & Total descriptions have a default indentation of two spaces. This may be reset by the INDENT command.
Prompt Specifications Prompt specifications are used by themselves anywhere in a template. Prompts are inserted in a template to let the user to specify a department number or ratio-divisor at run-time.
Prompt Specifications Prompt Specifications Example/Comment A prompt included as part of command line which requires a !CL COL YTD RATIO/[Enter YTD Ratio Divisor:] department number or ratio-divisor will apply only to the !CL COL BUDGET DEPT/[Enter Dept. number for column or row(s) being defined by the command line. column 1:] A single GLOBAL department number and a single !CL PROMPT RATIO/=[Enter ratio divisor to be used GLOBAL ratio divisor has been specified with a #. for this report:]
GLOBAL prompts may be placed anywhere in the !CL PROMPT DEPT=[Enter department number to be spreadsheet. used for this report:]
Native Cells Native cells are labels, values or formulas that will be copied from the template without alteration. They will be offset by any rows created in the output spreadsheet as a result of row commands. Care should be taken in the placement of these cells, so they will not be overwritten.
