  Key Concepts: 
  Data Link is a feature of SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation (EPM-FC) that allows users to link data from different sources and consolidate it into a single report. Data Link enables users to quickly and easily combine data from multiple sources, such as Excel spreadsheets, databases, and other applications, into one report. This allows users to quickly analyze and compare data from different sources in one place. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Data Link can be used to link data from multiple sources into one report. To do this, users must first create a Data Link connection between the source and the target application. Once the connection is established, users can then select the data they want to link and specify how it should be linked. Finally, users can save the Data Link connection and use it to generate reports. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a Data Link connection, it is important to ensure that the source and target applications are compatible. Additionally, users should ensure that the data they are linking is accurate and up-to-date. Finally, users should save their Data Link connections so that they can be reused in the future.
