titleWarnings
  •         
  • Do Not Skip Rows in reporting form tables.

...

  •          Do not save files as .XLSM (macro enabled excel) files. Some users may be presented

...

  • warnings that Visual Basic code may be deleted if the file is not saved as a .XLSM. Please ignore these warning and save

...

  • with an .XLS or .XLSX extension. EPA does not include VBA or excel macros in its reporting forms.
  •          Please use caution if you must Cut and Paste from other sources. EPA urges users who cut and paste to always use Paste Special / Values or as text when pasting. Failure to cut and paste as directed may damage your reporting form, forcing you to start again with an empty form. Use of the Paste Special / Values will ensure that formatting and cell protection is not altered. If you use cut and paste processes and later encounter problems with your reporting form please contact the GHGRP Help Desk
  •          Use the correct version of the reporting form. In some cases, reporting forms change from year to year.  The table below shows the years that a particular form can be used.  If the table below does not include the subpart and/or year of interest, see the Prior Year Reporting Forms page.

titleUsing Reporting Forms
: General Guidance

Color Coding
The reporting forms contain blue input cells, gray informational cells and black deactivated cells. Users should use blue input cells to enter all data specific to their facility, unit, or process. Gray informational cells contain parameter names, column and row headings, equation constants, subtotals and other instructional items. As you progress through a reporting form, you may notice some blue input cells changing to black deactivated cells. Black deactivated cells are not applicable to the user based on previous data entries in the form. Users should not enter data into these cells. All cells that are not blue input cells are locked and cannot be modified or do not require data from the user.

Stop and Warning Messages
The reporting forms will display a stop message if the user enters a value that is invalid or a warning message if the user enters a value outside the EPA-estimated range for a particular data element. For invalid data entries (such as text entered where numerical data is required), the stop messages will not allow the user to proceed, and the user must reenter valid data before moving forward. For data entries that are outside the EPA estimated range for a particular data element, the warning messages will alert the user but provide the option to continue if the user deems the entered value to be accurate.

Reporting Unit-Level Data for Multiple Units
For subparts where unit-level data are required, the reporting form will typically provide space to enter data for up to 10 processes or process units. If additional space is needed, additional copies of the form should be completed and submitted.

Subpart-Specific Form Instructions
Within each reporting form, two types of instructions are provided to guide users as they complete the form. General table instructions are provided above each table within the form. More specific instructions will appear in little yellow boxes when the user clicks in a blue input data cell.
