In Chapter 2, we created an InfoCube; in Chapter 3, we loaded data into it. In this chapter, we will create queries and reports using the BW presentation tool called Business Explorer (BEx). BEx consists of two applications: BEx Analyzer, which you use to create queries and reports, and BEx Browser, which you use to organize reports. We will work with both applications in this chapter. We will also demonstrate how to create and use variables.
