# Debug mode

You can use the debug mode to view what data is passed to your Excel template.

In this topic:

## Overview of debug mode

When running an Excel report in the debug mode, PPM replaces the report output by a list of all the data available in the Excel template. The data includes:

- All fields submitted when creating the report (with token name, code value, and visible value � also called meaning, with the token prefix V)
- Information on the user that submits the report and time of submission. This information is automatically passed to every report.
- All built-in objects available in the template to run SQL queries and get data from dashboard data sources.
- Every data added by a Java Preprocessor.

You can find the result of the first example report run in Debug mode in`Samples\3 - Debug mode\1 - Report run in Debug mode.xlsx`.

## Run Excel report in debug mode

To run an Excel report in the debug mode, in the report type, add the line `DEBUG=true` anywhere between the first and the last command step. As long as this parameter is present and set to `true`, the report will be run in the debug mode.
