To create an Excel report, you open any new or existing Microsoft Excel document and browse to the AVEVA Process Simulation tab. The AVEVA Process Simulation tab is available in Excel if you chose to install the Excel Add-In when you installed AVEVA Process Simulation. If you wish to install the Add-In because you did not select it when you installed AVEVA Process Simulation, modify your installation and select it.

The following table describes the available selections on the AVEVA Process Simulation tab:

Label	Purpose
Set Default Simulation	Sets the default simulation for the report by allowing you to select a simulation from the Repository. See Default simulation for more information.
Set Default Snapshot	Sets the default snapshot for the report by allowing you to select a snapshot from the Repository. See Default snapshot for more information.
UOM	Sets the default unit of measure (UOM) Slate for the report. You can select any UOM Slate saved to the Repository. You cannot use slates saved with the simulation.
Refresh	Loads the latest simulation data.
Write	Writes values from your report to an AVEVA Process Simulation simulation. You can use the SCSetValue function to specify the values that you want to write to the simulation. You cannot write values to a specific Snapshot within the simulation. See Write Excel report values to AVEVA Process Simulation for more information.
Run	Runs the selected scenario for the default simulation. See Run an AVEVA Process Simulation scenario from an Excel report for more information.
