Custom Exports in Analytical Cornerstone

Analytical Cornerstone provides a Custom Exports tool that allows users to export data from multiple reports into a single Excel file. This is especially useful because each individual data report normally exports into its own separate sheet. Custom Exports streamline this process, allowing you to bundle several datasets into one unified output.

The Custom Exports panel is located on the right-hand side of the Custom Market tabs.

What Custom Exports Can Do

With the Custom Exports feature, you can build a combined export that may include:

• Cash Cost data
• Cost breakdown by type of fiber (Natural fiber (wood), Market pulp, Recycled fiber)
• Direct Cost
• Total Cost
• Productivity of Labor and per Machine
• Consumption of Chemicals, Energy and Fiber
• Furnish
• Delivered cost to all destinations available in Analytical Cornerstone

This allows you to produce a consolidated dataset ideal for:

• Internal benchmarking
• Cross‑market cost analysis
• Preparing PowerPoint/Excel summaries
• Integrating AC outputs into internal BI systems

Custom Exports – Mill Summary Export

Analytical Cornerstone includes a Custom Exports – Mill Summary Export option that allows you to quickly export all Mill Summaries and Mill Flowsheets for every mill in your current market—all at once.

This eliminates the need to open each mill individually and download its Summary and/or Flowsheet one by one, saving significant time when preparing reports, presentations, or due‑diligence packages.

 

What Mill Summary Export Includes

When running a Mill Summary Export, AC will bundle for every mill in your selected market:

• Mill Summary Report
• Mill Flowsheet

Note that Mill Summary or Mill Flowsheets can be deselected if only one type is required.

Where to Find It

1. Navigate to your Custom Market.
2. On the right‑hand side of the custom market tabs, locate the Custom Exports panel.
3. Choose Mill Summary Export.

 

How It Works

1. Select Mill Summary Export from the Custom Exports panel.
2. Analytical Cornerstone automatically gathers:
   • All Mill Summaries
   • All Mill Flowsheets
     for the mills visible in your current market.
3. AC creates a consolidated download package containing every selected mill’s reports.

This is particularly helpful when working with multiple mills across a region or grade, where summaries and flowsheets must be shared with colleagues, management, or customers.

 

Advantages of Mill Summary Export

• Time‑efficient: No need to download reports separately for each mill.
• Consistent: Ensures all reports come from the same Cost Date / Balance Date selection.
• Comprehensive: Includes both Summary and Flowsheet—key mill‑level analysis tools
• Ideal for reporting: Perfect for M&A screening, supplier benchmarking, or internal reviews.
