Highlight Key Findings in Angular Reporting Apps

January 18, 2024
Report summaries and aggregates condense data and reveal patterns to guide effective analysis and action.

In reporting tools, summaries and aggregates are powerful tools for condensing and presenting large datasets into meaningful insights. Summaries condense data by highlighting key points, such as averages, counts, or maxima/minima, often using text or visuals. Aggregates mathematically combine data points, like calculating sums, means, or medians, typically displayed in tables or charts. Both approaches help users quickly grasp the essence of the data, identify trends, and make informed decisions. Summaries act as concise narratives and aggregates as numerical snapshots, working together to paint a clear picture from complex information.

The following Angular reporting components support summaries and aggregates:

  • DevExpress Reporting lets you design and deliver interactive cross platform reports with drag-and-drop data summarization.
  • Stimulsoft Reports.JS enables you to create powerful HTML5 reports directly in your apps, with built-in statistical functions to simplify complex calculations and summaries.
  • ActiveReportsJS by MESCIUS (formerly GrapeCity) helps you build embeddable, interactive JavaScript reporting solutions with numerous options for summarizing your data.
