At first I thought it was OOXML but later found out is really an HTML mapped through an XML. The mapping seems to be missing from this file, which is hard to tell how Excel maps it's generic cells to the ifs taxonomy which should be key to have some sort of relation. There is also some extension that provides a mapping interface to route the cells or lables to the right nodes. I am curious how excel produce the XBRL starting from the generic cell-row format. Something similar to the Letter Wizard duaring the field mapping section from the address book to the mail merge. > > > > Microsoft > has a product called FXr Reporting. > > > > Essentially, > it a database providing drop down menus for the various sections of a 10K > > > > Thanks, > > > > Alan
