# Lucanet-Excel-Reporting

**Lucanet.Excel-Reporting** is used to create standard reports that can be distributed as required and displayed without a Lucanet account or an internet connection. Reports are created and configured directly on the CFO Solution Platform in a [workspace configured for this purpose](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/consolidation-financial-planning/excel-integration/lucanet-excel-reporting/configure-workspace-excel-reporting.md).

All reports are created based on [reporting templates](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/consolidation-financial-planning/excel-integration/lucanet-excel-reporting/create-and-edit-reporting-templates.md) that are saved in Lucanet. Excel files can be used as reporting templates.

The data are queried from Lucanet using [tilde formulas](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/consolidation-financial-planning/excel-integration/lucanet-excel-reporting/work-with-tilde-formulas.md) that are defined in the reporting templates.

The [generated Excel reports](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/consolidation-financial-planning/excel-integration/lucanet-excel-reporting/generate-excel-report.md) do not contain specific macros or references to the database and can therefore be forwarded as required.

> **Warning:** The **macros** included in **XLSM files** are not run when creating Excel reports with Lucanet.Excel-Reporting. The macros are, however, retained when XSLM files are uploaded to Lucanet so that macros in the generated report can be run using MS Excel.

## Supported Excel Versions
