If you are not familiar with the potential of XBRL, this movie is for you. We cover the following:

• XBRL tags data and gives data structure
• The structured data becomes interactive
• Financial data is structured according to taxonomies

Finally, we open Microsoft Excel and “demo” an application of XBRL: we retrieve financial statement data for Microsoft (MSFT) dynamically.
