Our business analysts have developed sophisticated management reports within Excel for a number of years.

With the recent introduction of Analysis Services Cubes and XLCubed, they are now able to significantly reduce the effort to produce the reports and have the power of XLCubed to carry out further analysis. The ability to get behind any number in the spreadsheet through breakout feature to analyze the detail of the number is a major step forward.

The fact that XLCubed allows the existing reports to be reproduced easily enabling the analysts to continue to use Excel in the manner they are accustomed to was critical to the success of the activity. Our analysts are excited by this new technology and look forward to a new and productive method of working within Excel with XLCubed.
