then read on to learn about one of Excel's best kept secrets. 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 that are dynamically linked to your database but you want to place your report sections 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. Data and presentation (your Excel report) remain separated, drastically reducing the potential for spreadsheet hell; report users that access a central database all retrieve the same version of the truth. Building Dynamic Reports and Dashboards with Excel Cube Functions is a self-paced multi-media training course that is your express chairlift up the cube function learning curve. The course media provide instruction to suit your learning style and comprise:

• Learning Guide (PDF over 90 pages)
• 40 short, digestible videos
• 7 annotated workbook examples that you can re-use
• Sample database in local cube files

You will get off and running, developing reports quickly getting 80% of the results with 20% of the effort. In subsequent sections you will learn how to:

• Make your reports more robust, easier to maintain, and re-usable
• Add drop-down lists to make report parameter selection easy for users
