Maximizing SAP Reports by Using Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Excel is a popular software solution used for all kinds of reporting. Microsoft Excel, like other Microsoft products, including Word, Access, and Outlook, serves as a great complement to SAP R/3 reporting solutions. Chapter 7, "Creating Advanced Reports with the SAP Query Tool," explains how you can use the SAP Query tool to create graphical reports such as polar diagrams, bar charts, pie charts, and so on. It also mentions that although you can create these graphical reports using SAP's Business Graphics, it is sometimes preferable to use Excel to produce colorful charts, graphs, and diagrams. This chapter explains how to use Excel in conjunction with SAP.
