Summary


You can see why I love Jet Express for GP. It is so easy to use and so powerful. When I get to leverage knowledge I already have, such as Excel, learning a new tool becomes a piece of cake.

What's in the next chapter? We will take a look at Microsoft's dashboarding tool, Power BI. It is an incredible tool that enables you to look at your GP data in new and exciting ways. The best part is that it is so easy and fun, and there is a free version.
