Creating workbooks with manual data

Not all workbooks need to be live, some do not need to have data connected. Yes, you can even connect the data later!

After starting the workbook creation process, simply click on Design with manual data to get started.


Creating charts with manual data

In the workbook editor, right-click to add/edit manual data. You can later swap the manual data to use dimensions, measures and fields from your data view.
