How do I add data to my report?

Last updated on Oct 14, 2026

Short Answer: Click '+ Add data' in the right panel, then choose 'Use reconciliation data', 'Use output from another report', or 'Upload new data' and follow the on-screen prompts.

PreRequisites

  1. Open the New report page.

  2. Be signed in.

  3. For upload: have an Excel or CSV file ready.

  4. For reconciliation: have at least one completed recon if you plan to use one.

Steps

  1. On the New report page, click '+ Add data' under 'Data used'.
    The 'Add data' modal opens showing three choices.

  2. From the 'Add data' modal choose one option: 'Use reconciliation data', 'Use output from another report', or 'Upload new data'.
    The selected data-source flow starts. A selection modal or file picker appears.

  3. Follow the on-screen prompts for your chosen source: select a completed recon, pick a report, or upload a file.
    Sample rows appear in the report preview area first 25 valid rows.

  4. After the data is added, configure fields under Rows, Columns and Values.
    Fields are selectable and the preview updates.

Troubleshooting

  1. The 'Add data' modal shows options but selecting one does nothing.
    LikelyCause: UI didn't fully load or a network error occurred.
    Action: Refresh the page and try again. If the issue persists, try a different browser or contact your admin.

  2. Uploaded file doesn't appear or import fails.
    LikelyCause: Unsupported file format or file too large.
    Action: Save the data as .xlsx or .csv and try again. Reduce file size if necessary.

Note: You can use reconciliation results, another Cointab report's output, or upload a new Excel/CSV file.
