Changing non-assumption style output category block

Hi team,

I think I already know the answer, but I guess I am clutching on straws here. Is there a way to have module names in non-assumption category block in output section? I hope that makes sense. I am aware when non-assumption style is applied it has to contain consistent values or formulas.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Ilya,

You can use dynamic text in any cell block that doesn't contain a formula, in the same way that it can be used in default assumptions for assumptions cell blocks.

Just right-click on the cell block and click the Dynamic Text shortcut menu item (or go to the Build tab, Cell Blocks menu, Dynamic Text) and select Module Name as the dynamic text and click the Paste Button, as shown below:

You can do all sorts of cool things using dynamic text in this way, but the most common use as you note is referencing the module name, especially when building consolidations or multi-business unit models, etc.
