# Tested examples

> Complete, copyable projects with checked output: Excel, bank files, Sets, Slack and SFTP.

These [public example projects](https://github.com/get-dre/dre/blob/v0.5.1/examples/README.md) include the YAML, SQL and supporting files needed to run them. Every project uses synthetic data and DuckDB, so local runs need no database account. Start with [Your first report in 10 minutes](https://getdre.com/docs/first-report/).

Example

Output

Files

First report

Two regional workbooks, after seven small steps

[Tutorial project](https://github.com/get-dre/dre/blob/v0.5.1/examples/tutorial/README.md)

Monthly finance

Multi-tab workbook and a filled Excel template

[Finance project](https://github.com/get-dre/dre/blob/v0.5.1/examples/monthly-finance/README.md)

Bank file

Exact-width payment records with CRLF endings

[Bank project](https://github.com/get-dre/dre/blob/v0.5.1/examples/bank-file/README.md)

Regional reports

One workbook per Set, with named schedules

[Regional project](https://github.com/get-dre/dre/blob/v0.5.1/examples/regional-reports/README.md)

Slack headline

Message controlled by a result threshold

[Slack project](https://github.com/get-dre/dre/blob/v0.5.1/examples/slack-headline/README.md)

SFTP delivery

CSV and an environment-based remote profile

[SFTP project](https://github.com/get-dre/dre/blob/v0.5.1/examples/sftp-delivery/README.md)

[Install DRE](https://getdre.com/docs/install/), copy the chosen project directory and run `dre validate` from it. Each README gives the run commands and expected values. Dependencies install on demand.

Slack and SFTP default to `dev: {deliver: false}`: outputs stay local. To use a real destination, set your own environment variables, inspect the local output and explicitly select `--target prod`.

CI validates all six projects, runs their local paths and checks saved output. It also exercises every tutorial stage on Linux, macOS and Windows. Production remote profiles are checked with inert environment values; CI never delivers to Slack or SFTP.
