Unlock the power of Microsoft Excel with Reporting and Dashboards.

April 27, 2011 - PRLog -- Stonefield Software today announced the latest release of its Microsoft Excel reporting software tool, Stonefield Query 4.1. The new version includes over 30 new enhancements – the most significant being the Dashboard  and Reporting Wizard.

Microsoft Office Excel is one of the widely used applications on the market for storing an organizations data.  Reporting on this data, is a technique that many Excel users may not be familiar with or know how to implement. It's true that few Excel users know how to take full advantage of this feature. But they could. Often times they must rely on technical staff to create and customize these reports.

As an add-on Microsoft Excel reporting solution, Stonefield Query extends the basic reporting capabilities by enabling non-technical staff such as salespeople, administrative staff, and managers to create custom Microsoft Excel reports, pivot tables, charts, and graphs in just minutes. The user-friendly tool requires virtually no technical knowledge which means custom reports are generated quickly without waiting on IT staff.

According to Stonefield Software Inc. CEO Mickey Kupchyk. "We have a vision … rather than build another Microsoft Excel reporting tool geared towards IT professionals, we've designed a user-friendly package targeted at the 99% of the population who aren't technically inclined. We take care of all the hard programming so that the end user can simply pick the information they want and Stonefield Query will automatically format the output."

Creating dashboard reports is one way to visually present critical data in summary form so that your company can make quick and effective decisions.  Waiting for the IT staff to create these reports can be frustrating and lead to missed opportunities.

“The addition of the Dashboard Wizard allows all end-users to create actionable, interactive, and user-friendly dashboards that will help an organization track key performance indicators (KPI).” added Kupchyk

Stonefield Query can eliminate the IT bottleneck by putting the power of Microsoft Excel reporting and dashboard creation into the hands of the end-user.
