Would
you
read
information
presented
like
this?
No. It’s just not natural. Sometimes presentation is
almost as important as content. When you create a report, the goal
is to provide information for readers in a format they can readily
understand.
Crystal Reports 10 For Dummies, the latest version of the
most popular report writer in the world, shows you how to create
simple or sophisticated reports, turning data into interactive,
actionable reports that convey what’s happening in your
business. You can progress cover-to-cover or use the index to find
out how to:
* Give your reports more pizzazz by using the correct fonts,
color, drop shadows, graphic elements, and more
* Integrate elements from multiple, non-database sources
* Group sort, total result sets, cross-tab reports, and add
formulas, charts, or maps
* Print reports
* Use customized Business Views gleaned from the same information
to provide each reader with information he or she needs to know
without spilling all the beans, sales figures, marketing
information, or whatever
* Present multi-dimensional data in OLAP (Online Analytical
Processing) cubes
* Get ideas from sample reports on the companion Web site
Written by Allen G. Taylor, nationally known lecturer, teacher,
and author of over 20 books, including Database Development for
Dummies, Crystal Reports 10 For Dummies makes it crystal clear
how to:
* Store your information securely in Crystal Repository
* Use Crystal Analysis 10 to display OLAP data so you and your
report’s readers can analyze the information in an online
environment
* Use Crystal Enterprise to put Crystal Reports online for
viewing by hundreds or thousands of people in your
organization
Whether you want to dazzle your company’s CEO and
shareholders, motivate the sales force, or simply share database
information cogently, with Crystal Reports 10 For Dummies
you not only make your point, you an impression. When your reports
look professional, you look professional.
