Analyzing cross-tab data

You can use BIRT Data Analyzer to manipulate a cross tab to analyze its data. Using BIRT Data Analyzer, you can answer questions such as:

What are the sales for product A over time?

How do total sales break down by product?

How many units of product B shipped to all locations in April?

You can add, remove, reorganize, and customize the data and its appearance in the cross tab to examine relationships and trends. Using BIRT Data Analyzer, you can perform the following tasks:

Filter, group, and sort data.

Format a cross tab.

Perform calculations.

To launch BIRT Data Analyzer, select any cell in the cross tab, then from the menu, choose Data Analyzer.
