Preparing your Excel files
QuikReport reads the .xlsx working files your team already produces: schedules, workings and forecasts for whatever your report covers. There is no new format to fill in.
How files are recognised
Files are identified by their names, the same way a colleague would recognise them. Keep your usual naming convention. The month and year in the filename tell QuikReport which reporting period the file belongs to. Unrecognised or non-.xlsx files are simply skipped and reported back to you.
Validation
Every figure is extracted and cross-checked automatically. Where something does not tie out (a total that does not sum, a missing sheet, a period mismatch), you get a validation warning before anything is generated, so issues surface in review rather than in the meeting.
On the Professional and Enterprise plans, the mapping is set up against your actual workbook layout, so unique structures are supported.
