Summary

Before running an analysis, it is important to verify the account mapping and make adjustments if needed. For analysis integrity, each account must be mapped to the correct MAC code.

You can map your accounts within MindBridge or export account mappings as an .XLSX spreadsheet and map them manually.

Work with exported mappings

The exported account list contains 2 worksheets:

1. The account mapping structure ("Accounts" sheet)
2. The MindBridge Account Classification code system ("MAC Code" sheet)

The "Accounts" worksheet contains a series of "VLOOKUP" formulas. These Excel formulas are used to find specific values in a worksheet. Use this formula to locate the appropriate MindBridge Account Classification (MAC) code from the "MAC Code" sheet, which contains all available MAC codes. 

For more information on VLOOKUP formulas, review this Microsoft video.

You can copy and paste the appropriate MAC code into the "MAC Code" column (column C) on the "Accounts" sheet.

When adding a MAC code, the lower account levels update to match the new code.

When you are satisfied, save the file.

Import account mappings

Once you are satisfied with your account mappings, import the file back into MindBridge.

1. Follow the most appropriate course of action:
   
   • If the accounts have not yet been verified, select Verify accounts in line with the analysis name.
   • If the accounts have already been verified, open the more actions menu ( ) in line with the analysis name and select View accounts.
     You will go to the Account grouping step of the Verify accounts workflow.
