Tip
Note
Selecting a level of a location hierarchy (i.e. Region) will not narrow down the next level (i.e. Room). This will produce an error if there is a mismatch.
If you would like to narrow down the spreadsheet, go to the master data tab and filter on your building, then copy and paste the correct room.
