XL-DBQuery by SBS Development

URLs: sbs-xl-dbquery, sbs xl dbquery, sbsxldbquery, sbs-development, sbs development, sbsdevelopment

Analyse your corporate data with an easy to use analysis and reporting tool for Excel. XL-DBQuery from SBS Development is a data analysis and reporting tool for Excel that enhances Excel’s existing analysis and reporting capabilities and is a viable alternative to Excels own ‘MS Query’. It is based on the popular Query Builder ‘Automated-SQL-Builder’. 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 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:
