NOTES

- If the floating window does not show, select Pane

- In the CUSTOMER_MAPPING sheet, a row is added ahead (regardless of the Headers row) and the columns are shifted by 2 letters

- This procedure defines the named range RET_V1Zn (n is the zone number) which is 'CUSTOMER_MAPPING'!<Value range>

- By default, the outine buttons are below the detail rows; to put them above, select Data>Outline> doit launcher

- If #REF! shows (e.g., if you have clicked Source>Refresh), click Customer>Refresh, or repeat the whole procedure

- The General description feeds the Description of the Total row to the CUSTOMER_MAPPING sheet

- Alternative to clicking Cancel: pressing the Esc key.
