Building the Data Source

Scrutinizing the Data Source
In the data source, each produces a sheet, that is a non structured sequence of records with IDs common to the WSData sheet.
NOTE WHEN THERE IS NO CURVE SET IN THE MINUTES VIEW:
Whenever the cost or time per unit is null throughout a period column, all the relevant records are consolidated in one end row in the tabs
▪TF_X_TotalTimePeriods
▪TF_X_TotalTCostPeriods

The predefined report Breakdown_With_TimeFrame.mrt breaks down the spent times by period according to each WBS level. It works with the Sample_with_TimeFrame.qdv estimate.
Check the All Levels? box for_0_WBS_Item.
