XL-DBQuery is an Add-in for Excel that sits neatly inside Excel’s existing tool set. XL-DBQuery has been designed to expand on Excel’s existing data analysis and reporting capabilities by providing users with ‘self-service’ access to corporate data. With little effort, users can easily connect, query and analyse corporate data and use Excel’s familiar functionality to create reports based on the data returned by XL-DBQuery.

XL-DBQuery is intuitive and simple to use. Users will no longer need the assistance of specialists or I.T. Departments to service their requests for information

XL-DBQuery has been designed with both novice and advanced users in mind and even the most complex requests for information can be quickly and efficiently serviced.

XL-DBQuery uses assumptions influenced by the query criteria already entered by the user. This also extends to the selection of AND/OR conditions, an area that is often confusing for many novice and occasionally even experienced users. This approach means that assembled queries nearly always reflect the user’s requirements and often means that no further modifications are required to the assembled query.

Here are just a few more examples of the benefits that XL-DBQuery can bring to your business:

• A simple and intuitive user interface
• A viable alternative to Excels ‘MS Query’
• Compatible with Excel 2000 and above, Including Excel 2007
• Utilises users existing Excel skills and extends Excels built-in analysis and reporting capabilities by providing a bridge to your corporate data
• ‘Self-service’ style analysis and reporting for novice and advanced users alike
• Query assumptions help users build the queries they want quickly and efficiently without having to learn new skills
• Adheres to existing Database security measures
• Export data to Excel as standard row column reports or multi-dimensional pivot table reports for dynamic analysis of corporate data
• Refresh exported results directly from Excel
• Share corporate data with colleagues and co-workers
• Join and merge data from different data sources
• Query and analyse virtually any corporate data source within your organisation
• Digitally signed (VeriSign) for extra peace of mind
