Is the output locked, or can I change it?

It stays fully editable: every part is a normal Excel element you can move, color and resize.

Does it refresh when the data changes?

Yes. The visual is bound to your cells and updates as the linked values change.

Is my source table modified?

No. The tool only reads your data; the only addition to the sheet is the visual itself.

Can I try another look on the same data?

Yes. Just reopen the gallery and pick a different template; the earlier visual remains on the sheet.

Create a General Report in Excel
