You love the slice, dice, pivot and drill that PivotTables afford but you are frustrated by their limitations of placement and formatting (ever tried inserting a column in the middle of a PivotTable or moving just part of it?). You want to build reports and dashboards that are dynamically linked to your database but you want to lay them out in the worksheet precisely where you want them. The solution to your problem is Cube Formula Reports. Still part of Excel, they use CUBE functions that can be positioned almost anywhere in a worksheet, just like any other Excel functions. And just like Excel functions you leverage your existing Excel skills ; no new products to learn.

• make your reports more robust, easier to maintain, and re-usable
• add dropdown lists to make report parameter selection easier
