When should Make replace studio paste for a ledger extract with 256 rows?

Use Make when the ledger extract already lives in a file with 256 rows and the numbers should keep their locale separators. Use studio paste when you are placing a title, an annotation, or a palette on a form you already trust. Make reads the file. The studio edits the picture. Starting in the wrong one means typing the table twice.

If the ledger extract is a CSV or a spreadsheet of 256 rows, open Make so locale numbers stay intact. Open the studio when the data are already a chart and you are only changing the title, the note, or the palette. Do not retype a large table into the canvas.

What Make reads

Make takes the file of the ledger extract and keeps separators for the locale, so 256 rows do not turn commas into extra columns. That is the point of starting there when the sheet already exists.

What the studio edits

The studio is for the picture of a ledger extract you already accept: title length, a source footnote, a palette. It is a poor place to paste 256 rows by hand.

Locale numbers

A ledger extract of 256 rows can use a comma or a point as the decimal mark. Make follows the locale sample. Pasting the same sheet into the studio without that care splits values and silently changes the chart.

Do not type it twice — make-vs-paste-ledger

If you already cleaned the ledger extract in a sheet of 256 rows, Make should be the first page. The studio comes after, for the sentence around the chart, not for a second entry of the numbers.

This page chooses Make or the studio for a ledger extract of 256 rows. It does not upload your file and it does not change how the studio sanitizes a shape.

Questions

Does Make choose the chart for the ledger extract?
It builds from the file. The chooser still decides whether that ledger extract of 256 rows should be a bar, a line, or a table. Make does not replace that rule.
Can I paste 256 rows into the studio instead?
Only for a tiny check. A full ledger extract of 256 rows belongs in Make so separators survive. The studio paste is for a short edit, not a second database.
Where does the source line of the ledger extract go?
After the file is in, add it in the studio as a footnote. Make does not write the sentence. A ledger extract of 256 rows still needs a human source line.
