Title: Waterfall Charts & Status Reports
Post by: andyhofer on 22 Jan 2010 03:59:45 AM
Can someone tell me if I can create the following in Report Studio.

Status Reports
I have Planning 8.4 applications with E-Lists attached. The status of these E-Lists can be
Not Started
Work in Progress
Completed
Locked

When you've got say 300 E-List items it can be a bit of a chore to expand the E-List hierarchy in Contributor Web to see what the current status is of the E-List items. Therefore what I'm after is a report through BI report studio that will tell me the status of each of these E-List. If Contributor Web let you fully expand the hierarchy with one click then this wouldn't be required but as you have to expand it manually one level at a time it can take a few minutes.

Waterfall Charts
Can BI Report Studio create Waterfall charts based on data held

Many Thanks all

Andy

Hi,

Status Reports - I don't see why you shouldn't be able to do this.  The key question is whether you currently have your planning data available in a reporting package for use in Report Studio.  If not, you will need to get a package published for you to allow this.

Waterfall charts - I'm assuming these are Progressive Column charts?  If so, you have four (I think) variations of these available in Report Studio.

Best regards,

MF.
