Drill-Down: Exploring Transactions Behind a Balance

Drill-down lets you look inside any XAVI formula result to see the individual transactions that make up that number. When a balance looks off or you need to verify a figure, you don't need to leave Excel — just drill down and the transactions appear in a new sheet.


How to Drill Down

Recommended Method: Quick Actions Button

  1. Select a cell containing a XAVI formula

  2. Look at the Quick Actions bar at the bottom of the task pane

  3. Click Drill Down

  4. A new sheet is created with the full transaction detail

Alternative Method: Right-Click Menu

  1. Right-click on any cell with a XAVI formula

  2. Select CloudExtendView Transactions

⚠️ Note for Mac users: The right-click menu may not work reliably on Mac Excel due to platform limitations. Use the Quick Actions button in the task pane instead.


Drill-Down by Formula Type

Formula Type

First Drill-Down

Second Drill-Down

XAVI.BALANCE

Shows all transactions for that account

N/A

XAVI.TYPEBALANCE

Shows all accounts of that type with their balances

Select an account row → shows individual transactions


TYPEBALANCE Two-Level Drill-Down

Because XAVI.TYPEBALANCE aggregates across multiple accounts, its drill-down works in two steps:

  1. First level: Click a TYPEBALANCE cell → A new sheet appears listing all accounts of that type with their individual balances

  2. Second level: Select any account row on the drill-down sheet → Click Drill Down again → See the individual transactions for that account

The Quick Actions bar updates to show "Account row selected • Drill Down to transactions" when you're ready for the second level.


What's on the Transaction Sheet

Each drill-down sheet includes the following columns:

Column

Description

Account Number

Shown for wildcard or TYPEBALANCE drills

Date

Transaction date

Type

Transaction type (Invoice, Bill, Journal Entry, etc.)

Number

Transaction number — click to open it directly in NetSuite

Entity

Customer, vendor, or employee associated with the transaction

Memo

Transaction description or memo

Debit / Credit

Individual line amounts

Net Amount

Net impact on the account

Transaction numbers are clickable links — clicking one opens the transaction directly in NetSuite so you can inspect or edit it without any additional navigation.
