So, your client has gathered hundreds/thousands of rows of data in their SharePoint list. Now its time for their monthly report submit for their higher-ups, but neither do they have the staff or the required funds, for creating a dashboard solution. They are power users and not very comfortable writing scripts and they don't have access to BI/SSRS(yes their licensing doesn't support either). And they are waiting for a miracle to hand their managers PDF report in a couple of days, with dynamic charts and tables. They also want to filter their charts based on the period column from their list. Yep, very demanding people they are! But hey, miracles happen all the time. Find out how to impress your managers with complex dynamic reports filtered by date/month fields from this session. Your takeaway will be the know-hows to generate dynamic reports with Excel 2013 with SharePoint Onilne list data & filters.

connection file, all your user has to do is refresh their workbook to
get the latest report!)
7. Nintex apps for Office 365
• To use Nintex apps in your lists/libraries you have to first ‘Add an app’ > Nintex Forms and Nintex Workflows.
• Advantages of Nintex forms over InfoPath

OOTB, it is really easy to design workflow with just drag and drop functionality

19. Good luck with no-code custom reporting!
This reporting solution has been
used in our pilot schools for their
walkthroughs.
Two types of walkthrough apps
are covered in this demo.
1) Classified walkthrough
2) Teacher Walkthroughs
Classified walkthrough was used
to demonstrate how to customize
a SharePoint list with Nitnex form
for Office 365 and how to setup a
workflow for SharePoint list using
Nintex Workflow for Office 365.
Teacher walkthrough data are the
ones that was used for generating
a PDF report.
