Create and integrate your own templates

All files you need to embed your own templates into the Excel Add-In can be found at:

%ProgramData%\ELIAS GmbH\ELIASExcelReport

Structure of the Excel templates

The templates delivered with the Excel Add-In can be adjusted to your need. We recommend to make a copy of the existing templates and save them under a new name. How to embed them into the Add-In is described below.

We deliver these templates:

Name of the template Content
ELIAS_EMPB_DE_2012.xltx Initial sample test report of VDA, status of 2012, German
ELIAS_EMPB_EN_2012.xltx Initial sample test report of VDA, status of 2012, English
ELIAS_EMPB_DE_2013.xltx Initial sample test report of VDA, status of 2013, German
ELIAS_EMPB_EN_2013.xltx Initial sample test report of VDA, status of 2013, English
ELIAS_EMPB_DE_2015.xltx Initial sample test report of VDA, status of 2015, German, cover sheet in landscape format

Those files are Excel templates which don't use macros.

Please note: To open a template in Excel, use the “File / Open” dialog of Excel. If you open a template by double clicking it in the file explorer Excel won't save it as a template!

These are the sheets used by our templates:

Name of sheet EN/DE Content
Data Sheet / Datenblatt Input mask for your data and measurements
Cover Sheet / Deckblatt The cover sheet
Contents PPF / Inhalt PPF Table of contents
Documents / Dokumente Reference to other documents
PP1 to PP7 Product related test results

All of our templates contain a data sheet. This sheet should be the only one you have to type into.
If you create your own template you should copy one of our data sheets. This makes your work a lot easier.

Specific features of our templates

Our templates use conditional links in this form:

 =IF('Data Sheet'!C1="";"";'Data Sheet'!C1)

This results into the following effect: The cell will only be filled, if the referenced cell has a content. This “trick” eliminates the zeros (“0”) in the report sheets.

The data sheets is able to evaluate your measurement data. You don't have to use an infra-CONVERT license to fill out the document. You only have to use an Excel, once the document has been created by the Add-In.

Due to the complexity of the data sheet we strongly recommend not to change it! If you add columns to the data sheet you have to adjust the cells which evaluate the measurement data!
