Reporting tool for Excel

Excel add-in for dynamic reports

Be it for the contents of a study or for depicting complex data in the financial field — reporting figures is often associated with some difficulties:

• Many graphics programs lack a unified layout. The same base data can be shown to different users in the form of different graphics, which can result in messages being conveyed incorrectly or being presented in a way that can easily be misunderstood.
• Proper depiction of the figures and their relationships with one another is another problem. The reason for this is that most graphics programs do not work in a dynamic way, which means that the values themselves may be displayed correctly, but their relationships with one another are not taken into consideration, meaning that their scaling is not depicted correctly.
• Moreover, many graphics programs work independently of calculation programs like Microsoft Excel. Therefore, for reporting, the datasets must be transferred manually from the calculation program to the graphics program, which can result in transfer errors and lost time.
• Another issue is found in the limited options for reporting in many calculation programs. The user usually only has access to a limited number of functions for creating graphics, whereby the figures can often not be presented in the desired format.
