Chapter 4. Reporting and Business Intelligence

So far we have seen the data entry and data process side of Dynamics NAV in the previous chapters. Once data is introduced into the system, you should be able to analyze it.

Are our departments generating value for the company? Which items or services are the most profitable? What area is experiencing a bigger sales growth? Analysis and reporting can help you to answer these questions.

In this chapter, we will see the tools available to analyze Dynamics NAV data, both inside and outside the application. This chapter covers the following topics:

  • Dimensions

  • Filters, charts, and statistics

  • Reports

  • Account schedules

  • Analysis views

  • Business Intelligence with Excel and PowerPivot
