Before creating an Essbase report, you must select a report type. SQR Production Reporting Studio supports five report types:
Tabular—Data displayed in columns
Chart—Data summarized visually
Cross-tab—Summary numeric data displayed in a matrix or spreadsheet
Label—Data used on customer mailings, file folders, and internal company routings
Export—Data formatted for use by another program
Most reports are tabular. Use the other report types to accompany or enhance the tabular reports.
To choose a report type:
Click next to the desired report type on the SQR Production Reporting Studio screen, or
Select File, then New and select the desired report type in the Create New Report dialog box.
