What should a user add to an XLBook?

• A. PDF book
• B. Report
• C. File items
• D. Excel export item

Answer: (D)

XLBook is an Excel-based interface that pulls data from OneStream into Excel. The way to populate and update that workbook is by adding an Excel export item, which defines what data to export (which measures, dimensions, periods) and how it should appear in the sheet. This item drives the data connection and refresh behavior so the Excel workbook stays in sync with OneStream. The other options serve different purposes: a PDF book would export the content as a PDF, not drive the Excel data; a Report is a separate OneStream reporting object; File items are attachments or resources, not the mechanism to populate an XLBook with data.
