Examples and use cases

Using IBM® Planning Analytics for Microsoft Excel you can create an Exploration View. Use Exploration Views to show information in a more compact form than in a grouped list. For example, create an Exploration View to show total sales by product line generated by each sales representative.

Like list reports, Exploration Views are reports that show data in rows and columns. However, the values at the intersection points of rows and columns show summarized information rather than detailed information.

You can also create list reports from relational data sources.
