the potential effects of critical business
decision before they’re actually made. Using
existing data, users can formulate strategies
to achieve business targets and avoid the
default “hit and miss” approach.This helps
management undertake accurate strategic
planning.

knowledge.They allow users to better understand the
analysis within reports, and the underlying data those
reports are based on, to support better decision-
making. User should be able to:
Drill down and through reports
Conduct slice and dice OLAP analysis
Apply analysis such as moving averages and
regression to highlight trends in data
Use time-series zooming to scan large data sets to
understand anomalies in their data
Use conditional formatting to set data alerts which
highlight data exceptions

19. A meta data layer makes reporting easy and
eliminates the need for coding and SQL,
allowing users and report writers to see and
access information in simple business
language. Users solely interact with data at
the meta data level without having to
comprehend the complexities of the
underlying data

20. This feature allows you to create reports that
order specific categories of information, from
across multiple dimensions, by selecting
specific criteria. Ranking reports let you view

your business. For example, you could create
a report that ranks your 10 best selling
products, regions or sales people.
