General Concepts
Go to Workbook Purpose Example Workbook Purpose The purpose of a workbook should be the primary consideration of a model developer during every stage of a workbooks development. The purpose of a workbook can be universally segregated into three levels as follows: a) The purpose of the workbook; b) The purpose of each sheet; and c) The purpose of each component within each sheet. Go to Sheet Classification Example Sheet Classification The sheet content and sheet purpose of every sheet in a workbook should be visually identifiable at all times. Sheet Content Every sheet in a workbook should be visually identifiable as being one of the following sheet types: Go to Cover Sheet Example a) Cover sheet Go to Contents Sheet Example b) Contents sheet Go to Section Cover Sheet Example c) Section cover sheet d) Model schematic sheet Go to Time Series Sheet Example e) Time series sheet Go to Blank Sheet Example f) Blank sheet Go to Lookup Sheet Example g) Lookup sheet h) Chart sheet Sheet Purpose Every sheet in a workbook should have the purpose of either collecting assumptions or not collecting assumptions. Hence, every sheet in a workbook should be visually identifiable as having one of the following sheet purposes: Go to Assumption Sheet Example a) Assumption sheet; or Go to Output Sheet Example b) Output sheet. Go to Cell Classification Example Cell Classification The cell content and cell purpose of every cell in every worksheet should be visually identifiable at all times. Go to Cell Content Example Cell Content Every cell in every worksheet should be visually identifiable as containing one of the following content types: a) Constant; b) Formula; or c) Mixed (combination of constant and formula).

Cell Purpose Every cell in every worksheet should have the purpose of either collecting assumptions or not collecting assumptions. Hence, every cell in every worksheet should be visually identifiable as having one of the following cell purposes: Go to Assumption Cell Example a) Assumption cell; or Go to Output Cell Example b) Output cell. Assumption Classification An assumption is defined as anything within a workbook that is intended to be manipulated by model users to affect output. Every assumption in a workbook must be classified as one of the following types: a) Base assumption; or b) Sensitivity assumption. Go to Assumption Cell Content Example Assumption Cell Content Every assumption cell in every worksheet should contain constant cell content.

Workbook Structure
Go to Cover Sheet Example Workbook Cover Sheet Every workbook that contains more than one sheet should contain a separate cover sheet as the first sheet in the workbook. Go to Section Cover Sheet Example Workbook Sections Every workbook that contains multiple categories or similar types of information should be separated into sections. A separate section should be created in a workbook for each sheet or group of sheets containing similar types of information. Go to Section Cover Sheet Example Section Cover Covers A section cover sheet should be used at the start of each section in a workbook to indicate the commencement of each new section.

Go to Contents Sheet Example Table of Contents Every workbook with more than one sheet should contain a table of contents outlining the structure and composition of the underlying workbook. Go to Contents Sheet Example Table of Contents Information A Table of Contents should: a) Show the sections of the workbook (if any sections have been created); b) Reference the sheet title of each sheet in the model; c) Clearly number each section and sheet; and d) Be located near the front of the workbook (generally the second sheet in the workbook). Go to Workbook Navigation Example Workbook Navigation Every workbook with more than one sheet should contain: a) a table of contents sheet outlining the sections and sheets in the workbook; b) hyperlinks from the table of contents to every sheet in the workbook; and c) a hyperlink to the table of contents always in view on every sheet in the workbook.

Formats & Styles


Go to Formats and Styles Key Example Formats and Styles Key Every workbook should contain a key or legend that explains the purpose of each format and style that has been applied to the cells in the workbook. Worksheet Data Alignment All data of the same type on a worksheet should be consistently aligned down rows or across columns. Go to Worksheet Data Alignment Example A Go to Worksheet Data Alignment Example B Go to Denomination Identification Example Denomination Identification Every number in a workbook should clearly indicate what type of denomination it is by either: a) Stating the denomination of a number in an appropriate corresponding heading, title column, row or label; or b) Formatting the number such that it is displayed as its denominator (e.g. $20, 20 tonnes, 20% or 20.0x). Go to Workbook Denomination Example Workbook Denomination There should be a primary denomination that is used consistently throughout the workbook. Where denominations differ from the primary denomination, they should be clearly labelled to inform other model developers and model users.

Outputs & Presentations


Go to Segregation of Outputs Example Segregation of Outputs Output sheets and presentations, which may take the form of tables, graphs, diagrams or pictures, amongst other forms, should always be located in either: a) a separate, clearly labelled section of a workbook; or b) a separate dedicated output workbook. Go to Presentation Sheets Example Presentation Sheets A workbook may contain sheets which do not comply with the standards and conventions, but these sheets must be presentation sheets. A presentation sheet is a sheet that is included in a workbook in order to present output which is exempt from the standards and conventions in order to meet aesthetic or corporate requirements. Go to Presentation Sheets Example Presentation Sheet Usage Presentation sheets should only be included in a workbook where it is not possible to use non-presentation sheets to achieve the same objective.

Go to Time Series Assumptions Example Time Series Assumptions Every workbook that undertakes time series analysis should clearly state, for each distinct time series: a) the time series start date; and b) the time series periodicity. Go to Time Series Period Labels Example Time Series Period Labels A time series should always contain a consistent set of periodicity labels and counters that are located in the same position on every relevant worksheet in the workbook. The periodicity labels and counters that should appear in every time series sheet are: a) Period start date; b) Period end date; and c) Period number (counter). Go to Time Series Period End Dates Example Time Series Period End Dates The period end date label for each period in a time series sheet should always be in view on the screen. Go to Time Series Periodicity Identification Example Time Series Periodicity Identification The periodicity of each time series sheet should be clearly identified and always in view on each time series sheet.

Printing & Viewing


Go to Table of Contents Page Numbers Example Table of Contents Page Numbers Every workbook with more than one sheet should contain a table of contents that displays the corresponding printed page numbers for each sheet. As such a workbook should always print with a Table of Contents that is consistent with any page numbers printed on the individual sheet pages. Go to Sheet Page Numbers Example Sheet Page Numbers Every sheet within a workbook should contain page numbers that correspond with the printed page numbers stated in the workbook table of contents, when printing the entire workbook. Page Margin Consistency The page margins on every sheet in a workbook should be consistent. Print View Consistency The print scaling setting and hence the size of the content on each printed page in a workbook should, where practical, be consistent for each sheet.

Multiple Workbooks
External Workbook Imports All links from an external workbook into a workbook should be made via dedicated and separate model import sheets. External Workbook Exports All links to an external workbook from a workbook should be made via dedicated and separate model export sheets. Workbook Output Links All formulae on a model export worksheet should always be linked directly to the workbook calculations. Content on a model export worksheet should never be moved from one workbook to another workbook in a manner (e.g. copied and pasted as values) which creates static data that will not change when changes are made to the workbook from which the data originated.
