The master value manager
The master value manager is the “control centre” for all master values. Keep an overview of which master values are stored in the MeetingPoint. Here you can also create manual values and use these for cross-file validations later on. So that you can continue working in the Excel document, you must close the master value manager.

Management
Add
Here you can add a manual master value, an account calculation or an account group to the MeetingPoint.
Manual value
A manual value is stored in the MeetingPoint and can only be changed in the master value manager. So that validations can be structured better, you have to give the value a name, enter a number and you also have the option of saving a comment.

You can only enter numbers in the “Value” field. If a letter or special character occurs in the number (provided it does not occur at the first location), these characters are removed when you click “OK”. |
