# Data Sheet - Introduction
## Entering and viewing detailed data
The **Data Sheet** is where you can control all the numbers in your budget. All data entry occurs on the data sheet.
The Data sheet allows you to see **Group**, **Category,** or **Sub-Category** level data across one or more of your departments. This page has many features that are very powerful and would take days and hours to recreate in Excel.
- **Scenarios** - at the top of the page we see the Scenario and Year in Red Font with a pencil icon next to each. You can switch between any active budget or year here.
- **Groups/Categories** - At the top left we have the Group/Category drop down menu where all categories and groups are organized by the COA hierarchy set in Budgyt. Non-Financial categories are also included in this list. Selecting a Category or Group (name in bold) will display that category or group of categories.
- **Departments** - the drop down at the top right allows you to choose which of your departments you wish to display.
- **Refresh** - hit the refresh button (top right) after changing the Department drop down to populate the data sheet with the new information.
- **Excel** (top right) - the excel icon allows you to export data sheet information to Excel for further analysis. The export contains the Code for the categories exported and can be a useful shortcut to help import data. To learn more about importing data click **[here](https://community.budgyt.com/knowledge/importing-data)**.
- **$/% buttons** (top right) - by default the data sheet shows information in $, clicking the % button converts all data to a percentage of net sales of the department to which that data belongs. The $ button returns the data to $.
