Greetings!


Dateline - Las Vegas, NV, Miami, FL, Philadelphia, PA.

Innovation in Business Intelligence is accelerating! That's the good news, now here is the bad news. Given all the buzz about Executive Dashboards and analytics, many small and mid-sized business executives I've met are clinging to their paper reports like life-jackets during a shipwreck! They want to see the details, not just (and more to the point, not even) the KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) which show the direction the business is headed.



Building Crosstab and Financial Reports
the Easy Way


Crystal Report developers have been happy to have the Crosstab object available for many years. Similar to a pivot table, the Crosstab allows Crystal Reports developers to sum up volumes of data by both rows and columns, creating a grid or a table of results that illustrate patterns and trends. For example:
  • Which regions are showing sales increases over the last six months?
  • Which customer categories are increasing their outstanding balances overdue by 61 to 90 days?
  • What percent of new customers are selecting our new service offering vs. the traditional offering?
All of these questions are easily answered with a Cross-tab object in a Crystal Report.
