XLCubed - Reporting, Analytics and Dashboards for data connected solutions
The people who work and run our organization are passionate about spreadsheet reporting and have hundreds of man years of experience in this field. Yes, some of us really are that old and cut our teeth on Lotus 123. We also recognize it’s not just about software products, its about how you use them and why some things work and some don’t.
The reason why we established this blog is to try and explain some of the do’s and do not’s in our field of expertise and we hope that you find it useful. We also hope to show people that scary things like OLAP and databases aren’t that scary really and that it doesn’t have to cost a fortune to take advantage of the sort of technology that big companies are using. All in all our goal is to be informative and to present our opinions (not facts) .. you may find we don’t always agree with each other which could lead to some entertaining threads.
I have downloaded MicroCharts to give it a try. I am considering purchasing it by myself and start using it to create a dashboard. I am a newly hired purchasing manager and I am also new in purchasing (I come from planning).
It would really speed up my use of microcharts and possibly to make the company to purchase it if you can show me examples of dachboards used in purchase departments. It will help me with microcharts, as well as with learning more about the purchasing function as well.
thanks and regards
