How to make your reports more interesting

by Brian Rice

The next User Group meeting is approaching.

In this meeting we will revisit reporting, but this time with a twist. We will be talking about graphical data representations which is just a $10 phrase for charts and graphs. We know charts and graphs are easy to build in Excel; now we’ll show what can be done in Crystal Reports, FRx and Business Insights Explorer. As always, all users will have an opportunity to talk about the tipic of their choice during the open discussion.

This is your chance to meet with other MAS 90 and MAS 200 users and consultants, enjoy lunch on us and enter drawings for prizes. Look for your tickets in the mail as the meeting date draws closer. If you don’t find your tickets in the mail or you would like to invite a co-worker or friend, just let us know and we will be sure to take care of it.
