Budget Table and Chart
At a Glance

- Learn how to show or hide table columns and copy the budget table into Excel.
- Access the Breakdown Chart tab and understand that its pie chart shows distribution only for the next lower level.
Valis/Valitypes within your project’s top-level blocks might have the formula function soc() that stands for "sum of children". This function sums up all the Valis of the same type in the Blocks one level below (sub-Blocks). Whenever a Vali has a soc() function as a formula, Requirements Portal automatically creates and updates budget tables and charts for Valis with the formula soc().
