The Report Writer, Data Analysis, and Solution Charts control screen provides several methods of moving data to user-created reports from models, solutions, and data files.  Report workbooks can be automatically updated.

[Load Any File] – Load any file in model directory.

[Load Equation Workbook], [Load Data Workbook] – Load equation, data workbooks.

[Chart Parameter Block] – Create charts of parameters from equation matrices.

[Chart/Trend Data Value] – Create chart/trend line for a selected variable in data workbook.  Data can be extrapolated to end of model projection period.

[Chart Block of Data] – Create charts of adjacent variables from data workbook.

[Regression Analysis of Data] – Multiple regression analysis of variables in data workbook.  Simple regression analysis is made available within VORSIM.

[Create Supply Demand Report] – Create a report which uses model elasticities and solution values from 2 solutions to calculate welfare impacts and show changes in supply and demand.

[Create New Movelist Report (*.mlt)],  [Load Movelist (*.mlt); Modify, Update] – Create, load/modify ‘Movelist’ files that move data from one workbook to another (e.g. from a solution workbook to a report).  This procedure is useful whenever automated data transfer is needed between any workbooks.

[Chart Solution Time Series Variable(s)] – Create time series graphs of solution variables.

[Load a Solution], [Chart Cross-Section – Solution Variables] – View a solution workbook, chart solution values.

[List All Files] – Create a list of all files in the model directory.

[Create New (Empty) Report (*.rpt)], [Load an Existing Report (*.rpt)] – Create and open Excel report workbooks.  Report workbooks are user-designed.  Movelists or items on the VORSIM pull-down menu can be used to move model solution and other data into reports.  Once model data has been moved into a report, the data can be automatically updated.

vorsimpdrw|VORSIM| menu in Report Writer: Most options are ways of moving workbook data to user-built reports.  Data can be copied to, or linked to reports (or any file).  Once data has been added to a report sheet by any of these methods (or movelists), it is possible to automatically update the data without copying it again.  This is possible by creating a comment containing the source information for every data block transferred.  Other commands set data column width, clear text boxes from sheet, or make comments visible/invisible.  In version 15, this menu has been replaced by tool buttons.
