section on the Spreadsheet Hierarchy (
)
for a description of the types of spreadsheets and their data-flow
relationships.
General Characteristics
Each spreadsheet has 52 columns and a variable number of rows.
The columns of the spreadsheets are labeled 'A-z'.
The rows of the spreadsheets contain data appropriate to the spreadsheet as
described below. The section Spreadsheet Row Numbers
() describes how row numbers are assigned.
Assessment Spreadsheet Layout
There are two special rows on the top of the assessment spreadsheet.
The first is the template row ().
The second row is the export row ().
The main body of the assessment spreadsheet contains the parameters associated
with the assessment. The parameter values appear in the "A" column of the
spreadsheet and cannot be edited. The remainder of the spreadsheet columns,
labeled "B-z", can be edited and used for computations.
See Referencing Spreadsheet Parameters
() for information
on how to reference a parameter value in the spreadsheet.
