The spreadsheet builder is a tool used to export data to excel from DGS. It is located in the tree of all sites.

Spreadsheet Builder Data Source
The data source of the spreadsheet builder is where all data will be selected out. For dynamic selection of date ranges, look for the shiftnumber being between {0} (The start of the range) and {1} (the end of the range). An example will be in the picture below.
