Step-by-step tutorial
Open your AP Approval Matrix Testing Excel workpaper and import the relevant supporting documents.
Click the Excel Agent icon in the DataSnipper ribbon to initiate the Agent.
Enter your instruction in the prompt to tell the Agent what to do.
The Agent analyzes your instruction and summarizes the procedure it plans to perform. If the summary looks correct, confirm to proceed.
Once the procedure finishes, the Agent provides a detailed summary of the actions completed.
The workpaper now includes all generated outputs, with the relevant Snips and Excel formulas in place.
Apply your professional judgement to review the output and make any required edits.
