Spreading

In a report or view you may want to alter the numbers as part of your process, e.g. when you are performing budgeting or forecasting. CALUMO allows you to easily and accurately achieve this by utilising the Spread functionality.

A spreading action is started by selecting a range of cells using click and drag to draw a box around the cells that you want to act on. When you do this, the additional spreading menu will appear:
