What must be done to enable date spreading in worksheet records?

To enable date spreading in worksheet records, mapping the date field to predefined columns is essential. This process involves specifying how the date data is formatted and stored in the worksheet to ensure it can be effectively spread across the appropriate timelines, dimensions, or categories.

When the date field is mapped correctly to the predefined columns, it facilitates proper handling of the date values for analysis, reporting, or operational purposes. The mapping allows the system to understand how to navigate and utilize those dates when performing functions such as calculations, allocations, or forecasting within the worksheet environment.

The other choices do not fulfill the requirements for enabling date spreading. Assigning a static date to all records would fail to provide the dynamic analysis that date spreading requires, while limiting to weekdays only is a specific condition that does not address the fundamental need for proper mapping. Using only year fields for mapping would restrict the granularity of the date data, preventing effective spreading across months or days which is often necessary in planning and analytical scenarios.
