Intro

---|
Data markers have multiple switches and options that are available for use in ExcelTemplate workbooks. |
Data Markers can have optional modifiers that change the way the data is imported to or displayed on a report.
The Data Marker Options used in this example are:
- Fieldname, which imports the name of the field
...
- Uppercase, which forces characters to uppercase
...
- Lowercase, which forces characters to lowercase
...
- Preserve, which forces number strings to be treated as text
...
- Optional, this will cause the data marker's place to be left empty if it is unbound
Download the template and the report to see how the Data Marker Options in the template change the way that the data in the report is presented.
