EBS financial analysis with pivot tables – Reporting that won’t break the bank

Avatar photoCustomer Questions & Answers 7 replies

Our financial planning and analysis team relies heavily on Excel pivot tables for slicing and dicing large general ledger and subledger data sets. Does Blitz Report ensure the exported data is structured correctly and cleanly to support immediate pivot table creation without extensive clean-up?

    Yes, absolutely. Blitz Report delivers the required data as native, perfectly formatted Excel files. Because the data is delivered cleanly, including correct formatting for financial figures and dates , it is immediately suitable for advanced financial analysis using pivot tables.

    We require the ability to pull large volumes for our quarterly analysis. Will this tool constrain the size of data we can extract for pivoting?

  • Support Enginatics

    No, that’s a key advantage. Unlike conventional EBS tools like BI Publisher, which can enforce a 65,536 row limit due to older XLS formats , Blitz Report explicitly has no volume limitations on its data output. This ensures your FP&A team can extract comprehensive datasets for complex pivot table analysis.

    Beyond simple pivot tables, can the output data be used for advanced visualization methods, such as mapping?

  • Support Enginatics

    Yes, the Excel output is highly flexible. For instance, if you extract geographically relevant data, that output can be integrated directly with visualization tools like Excel Bing Maps for map-based analysis and visualization. The structured nature of the data allows for seamless use with other BI tools as well, such as Tableau or Microsoft Power BI.

    Is the statement that this reporting ‘won’t break the bank’ a reference to licensing or performance overhead?

  • Support Enginatics

    It refers to both. The licensing model is attractive , starting with the first 30 reports being completely free to use. Furthermore, the technical architecture results in reduced processing overhead, ensuring incredibly fast performance compared to complex reporting methods.
