Over the years, Microsoft Excel has established itself as one of the world’s most popular applications for business users. IBIS Spreadsheet Services brings the power of Pentaho’s popular open source OLAP offering to Microsoft Excel users, allowing them to interactively explore and analyze data directly within Excel. It works with IBIS Analysis Services (IBIS’s Mondrian OLAP Project) to deliver powerful analytical capabilities at a fraction of the cost of traditional proprietary OLAP and business intelligence offerings.
- Integrates directly with Microsoft Excel PivotTable services, supporting data refresh, drill-down, data pivoting and more
- Provides an easy, interactive way for business users to analyze critical business information, by exploring the data to quickly uncover trends or anomalies. For example, a user looking at sales information for last year could easily “drill down” from the yearly summary to break out sales by quarter, compare sales across product lines, or analyze specific sales performance in different geographic regions
- Allows users to enhance the data with Excel formatting and Excel charts
- Is built on popular open standards including Ole DB for OLAP (ODBO) and XML for Analysis (XML/A)
- Works with IBIS BI Suite
