Access: Kindo Payable Administrators
This reporting option allows you to use excel to create a pivot table for ease of reporting to boards and heads of faculty.
The report will clearly show you the percentage paid for each payable item, and is broken down based on your general ledger codes, so different areas within the school are easily identified.
You can edit the
data initially, before creating the pivot table if you just want to report on
one particular area.
You can also select the date range you would like the report to be for, whether it is monthly, quarterly or for your final end of year report.
Those that are
familiar with Pivot tables can also filter the data once the pivot table is
created.
You can then create graphs from the pivot tables for a visual interpretation of your data, great for reporting to the board.
This is Phase one of this reporting function. The data can be accessed, but you will need to create the pivot table manually, using the instructions below.
Phase two will see the pivot tables being created automatically for you.
Phase three will see additional graphs created for you also.
Accessing the Data
2. From the main Payable Admin Page, select the Reporting option.
3. Select Kindo Payables, and Classic Student Payables Review options.
4. Enter in your date range for the required reporting period.

Creating the Pivot Table
You can easily create a Pivot Table which can be used for board reporting.
It is a great way to present the data in an easy to view format.
1. Highlight all the cells containing data, including row 1.
2. Select Insert, then Pivot Table, and From Table/Range.
3. This will open up the following
pop-up box:
The Table/Range
should automatically populate from your highlight spreadsheet.
Ensure New
Worksheet is selected.
Click OK.
4. A new tab will open in your
workbook (Sheet 1), with the Pivot Table Fields selection box.
5. In the Pivot Table Fields box,
you need to click on the field name, and drag it into the appropriate area, as
seen in the picture below.
- Remarks1 field into Row area
- Payable name into Row area
- Sum of applied total dollars
into Values area
- Sum of net paid total dollars into Values area
As you click and
drag the fields into the area boxes you will see the pivot table being created
in Sheet 1.
If you click outside of the Pivot
table at any point the Pivot Table Fields box will disappear. You just need to click in the pivot table for
the fields box to appear again.
6. Ensure you are in the PivotTable Analyze tab and then select Fields,
Items & Sets.
7. Select Calculated Field option.
The reason we calculate the % this way and not from the percent paid
field, is that it’s more accurate.
The field option doesn’t keep the bolded
summary line separate, so includes this as part of the calculation.
8. The following pop-up box will
appear:
Click on net paid total dollars and then Insert Field.
9. This field will then get
entered into the Formula bar, and the cursor will also be in this field. Click on the / on your keyboard.
10. Click on applied total dollars and then Insert
Field.
11. You should end up with your
formula field looking like the image below. Click OK.
12. This will then add a percentage
column to your pivot table.
You can edit the names of the columns and change the columns from general to percentage and
dollar values as required.
13. To change the
cells to display as a percentage or dollar value, you can simply highlight the
column, then select Home, and change General to either Currency / Accounting or Percentage.
You need to save the document as an Excel
file, to retain the format of the workbook and pivot table.
