## 2. Select Data & Confirm Structure

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/quikirr/xIRaGjBuBRBt9dNh/images/quickstart/SelectionExample.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=xIRaGjBuBRBt9dNh&q=85&s=28d261bd7c8271157c0ea38c57d9f7b1" alt="Select data cube" className="rounded-xl border border-gray-200 shadow-sm" width="653" height="288" data-path="images/quickstart/SelectionExample.png" />

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select Your Data & Confirm Selection">
    Highlight your customer data cube in Excel from top left to bottom right, then click the 'Confirm Selection' button in the Quikirr pane.

    <AccordionGroup>
      <Accordion title="Data Selection Guidelines">
        * **Headers**: Row 1 for headers only. Ensure dates are contiguous and on a single row.
        * **Required Data**: Must include a Customer ID column and date columns with your revenue metrics.
        * **Revenue Metrics**: Ensure consistent metrics in time-based columns (e.g., all ARR or all MRR). Quikirr defaults to ARR but supports other types via <a href="/features/calculation-rules">Calculation Rules</a>.
        * **Data Purity**:
          * Avoid merged cells, complex conditional formatting, or PivotTables in the source data.
          * Ensure your selection contains only customer data rows, excluding totals, subtotals, or summary rows.
      </Accordion>
    </AccordionGroup>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm Structure">
    Does each row represent a unique customer? **Yes** or **No**?

    * **Yes**: Each row is one customer with their data across time periods. If there are duplicate customer entries, you can clean them up in <a href="/features/data-cleanup#1--customer-consolidation">Customer Consolidation</a>.
    * **No**: Rows represent customer-product combinations (e.g., Customer 1 Product A, Customer 1 Product B, Customer 2 Product A). This enables <a href="/features/cross-sell">Cross-Sell</a> analysis and we automatically consolidate customers where appropriate for the outputs.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm Cell Mappings">
    Review Quikirr's auto-detected mappings for:

    * Customer ID column
    * Date columns interval of your input data (Monthly, Quarterly, Annual)
    * (Optional) Product ID column (for <a href="/features/cross-sell">Cross-Sell</a>). Enabled when you indicate each row represents a customer-product combination.
    * (Optional) Descriptor columns (for <a href="/features/segmentation">Filtering</a>)

    Click **Confirm All & Continue** after verifying.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  **Large Files**: For large customer files, consider pasting data as values into a clean workbook before running Quikirr. It's not recommended to run Quikirr on worksheets embedded in extensive, multi-tab workbooks.
</Note>

## 3. Configure Analyses & Submit

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/quikirr/xIRaGjBuBRBt9dNh/images/quickstart/QuikirrWorkbookDesigner.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=xIRaGjBuBRBt9dNh&q=85&s=7eddfb7eaf719c66c135f014e3f5d4f1" alt="Workbook Designer" className="rounded-xl border border-gray-200 shadow-sm" width="1254" height="874" data-path="images/quickstart/QuikirrWorkbookDesigner.png" />

Configure which analyses you want to generate to Excel along with various settings:

* **Clean Data**: Use <a href="/features/data-cleanup">Data Clean‑Up</a> for duplicates, negatives, etc.
* **Filter**: Apply saved segment filters via the <a href="/features/segmentation">Filter Center</a>.
* **Analyses**: Select reports like:
  * <a href="/features/waterfalls">Waterfalls</a>
  * <a href="/features/cohort">Cohorts</a>
  * <a href="/features/ranking">Rankings</a>
* **Workbook Format**: Set units, fiscal year end, or enable Big Data mode for better performance on large data cubes.

Click **Generate Excel** when ready.

## 4. Generate Workbook & Review

Quikirr will generate the workbook in a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the size of your underlying data cube and how many output worksheets you've selected.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/quikirr/xIRaGjBuBRBt9dNh/images/quickstart/WorkbookGen.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=xIRaGjBuBRBt9dNh&q=85&s=509f6f91792428d93ad4f916c3554ebd" alt="Workbook Generation Example" className="rounded-xl border border-gray-200 shadow-sm" width="1490" height="797" data-path="images/quickstart/WorkbookGen.png" />

<Warning>
  Avoid interacting with other Excel workbooks or selecting cells during generation.
</Warning>

**Done!** You now have a dynamic, professional-grade Excel workbook.

**Next Steps:**

* Explore the generated sheets.
* Check feature pages (e.g., <a href="/features/waterfalls">Waterfalls</a>) for details.
* If you need to make changes, you can re-run Quikirr by copying the original tab into a new workbook.
