1 WEBFOCUS QUICK DATA FOR EXCEL BRIAN CARTER INFORMATION BUILDERS SUMMIT 2008 USERS CONFERENCE JUNE 2008 Presentation Abstract: Even with the growing popularity and evolvement of Business Intelligence products such as WebFOCUS, Excel continues to be one of the most common means used to generate reports and analyze data. Excel users continue to stand firm when it comes to replacing Excel with a BI reporting tool, despite the challenges involved with accessing data within the Excel environment. WebFOCUS has responded to these demands and challenges with Quick Data, a WebFOCUS Add in for Excel. Now users can access and analyze all of their enterprise data without leaving their preferred environment. This session will walk you through all of the latest enhancements to Quick Data and even show you how to call your own structured ad hoc forms right from within Excel. Excel users will not want to miss this session! WebFOCUS Quick Data for Excel Page 1 of 21 5/16/2008
2 OVERVIEW WebFOCUS Quick Data is an Excel Add in that allows the creation of reports within Excel. Quick Data provides Excel users with secure access to all available data sources within the enterprise. Reports created with Quick Data take advantage of WebFOCUS unique ability to generate Excel output with styling, formulas, and named ranges. Reports can be edited, refreshed, and also shared among users. Quick Data is optionally installed and configured automatically when installing Developer Studio and can also be deployed to users for use in the stand alone Excel environment. Users can access any licensed WebFOCUS installation. EXERCISE 1 CREATE AN EXCEL DASHBOARD USING REPORT ASSISTANT In this exercise, you will build a simple Excel dashboard. Using Report Assist, you re free to create any type of query you want against any data source you have access to. Here, you ll build two queries and use the new features of Excel 2007 to create a sales dashboard. You ll also set up the dashboard to refresh automatically! Instructions 1. Start the Reporting Server. 2. Open Microsoft Excel. 3. Change the background color of the worksheet: a) Click the top left corner of the worksheet which is the small gray square with the little white arrow. b) Select Red (Accent 2) from the Fill option. 4. Select row 1 and change the background color to a lighter shade (60%) of red accent 2. WebFOCUS Quick Data for Excel Page 2 of 21 5/16/2008

This should center the heading across the worksheet. 7. Using the font group in the ribbon, increase the font size to 20pt, make it bold, and add a black border around the cell. 8. Add an image for a logo: Select the Insert tab on the ribbon and select Clip art. Search for coffee cup. Then pick one of the coffee cup images as shown below. Shrink it up a little so it fits snuggly in the left hand corner. WebFOCUS Quick Data for Excel Page 3 of 21 5/16/2008

Select each one to see how it highlights that area of the worksheet. WebFOCUS Quick Data for Excel Page 6 of 21 5/16/2008
7 20. Quick Data also automatically adds native Excel formulas for totals and computed values. Click on the Total value for the Unit Sales column and note the formula. 21.

Uncheck the Add grand totals and rerun the report. 22. Now let s add the average sales by adding the word Average under the Product column and under the Dollar Sales column, select the AVERAGE function. 23.

8 24. Formatting and styling can be done in WebFOCUS, but you can also utilize Excel s rich formatting capabilities. To make sure the Excel formatting is preserved when the query is refreshed, we must change a property of the query. a. In the WebFOCUS Add in menu (or in the right click menu), select Data Range Properties. This will bring up the standard Excel dialogue. b. Change the query properties to Preserve cell formatting. Note that you can also set the query to refresh automatically at timed intervals and when the spreadsheet is opened. 25. Format the data in Excel: a. Highlight the data along with the average line and select the Clear Formats option (Home tab). This will reset the fonts, colors, etc back to match the current theme in Excel. WebFOCUS Quick Data for Excel Page 8 of 21 5/16/2008
9 b. Set the background color to white and add a thick border around the entire data table. c. Bold the column titles and add a border under them. d.

These Number options are in the Home tab. 26. Let s add some visualization to the numbers: a. Highlight all of the values in the Sales column (do not highlight the title or the average). b. Select Conditional Formatting and select the four colored arrow set of icons under the Icon Set option. This will automatically distribute the data into four categories and provide an appropriate icon for each category. WebFOCUS Quick Data for Excel Page 9 of 21 5/16/2008
10 27. Now let s add a chart that will simulate the sales trend over time: a. Go to worksheet 2 and add a new WebFOCUS Query. b. Select GGSALES as the data source. c. Add DATE as the Sort BY and DOLLARS as the measure. WebFOCUS Quick Data for Excel Page 10 of 21 5/16/2008

Add a Refresh option to the queries: Select a cell in the query and select Data Range Properties from the add in menu. 30. Check the Refresh data when opening option. 31. Repeat this for the Query in the second worksheet used for the sales trend chart. WebFOCUS Quick Data for Excel Page 14 of 21 5/16/2008
15 32. Now let s change the data to simulate the refresh capability: Change all of the sales values to $1 for both queries. The charts will update to reflect the new numbers. 33.

16 EXERCISE 2 ACCESS DATA IN WITH A GUIDED AD HOC FORM In this exercise we ll configure Quick Data to use Managed Reporting authentication to log in and access your data. In addition, we ll use a guided ad hoc form to bring data into Excel. This gives ad hoc users a more structured method of accessing and interacting with the data by using simple parameters to interact with a predefined data source. 1. Configure Quick Data for Managed Reporting and Ad hoc form use: Note that this is an administrative step and is NOT done by the Excel user. a. Access the WebFOCUS Administration Console: Open a browser and go to: b. Click on the WebFOCUS Administration Console link. c. Log in with id: admin and no password. d. In the menu on the left hand side click the Configuration link. e. Click the WebFOCUS Quick Data link at the bottom of the list. WebFOCUS Quick Data for Excel Page 16 of 21 5/16/2008
17 f. Change the quick_data_security radio button to MR. Note: you have a choice of using your own server based authentication and security (Self Service type of application) or you can utilize WeFOCUS out of the box Managed Reporting security. g. Enable the Ad hoc form feature: Now click the domain drop down and you ll be prompted to log in to MR to access the domain list. Select the domain and the folder where the Ad hoc forms are located. Select the Quick Data for Excel domain and My Excel Forms for the folder. Note: Ad hoc forms that will be used with Quick Data must be stored in one dedicated folder within a single domain. WebFOCUS Quick Data for Excel Page 17 of 21 Copyright 2008 Information Builders, Inc. 5/16/2008
18 h. Now save the changes and clear the cache for good measures. i. Close the Admin Console browser window. 2. Let s create a query in Excel using a structured ad hoc form: a. Open Excel. b. Right click on cell B2 and select Create WebFOCUS Query c. Click next since the server should be set. WebFOCUS Quick Data for Excel Page 18 of 21 5/16/2008
19 d. Now you re prompted for a Managed Reporting login id and password. Enter admin for the id and leave the password blank. e. Notice that a new option appears allowing you to select the method for creating a query. In this exercise we ll select HTML Form. f. Now you re presented with a list of ad hoc forms (ok only one in this lab!). Select gg_sales_analysis. WebFOCUS Quick Data for Excel Page 19 of 21 5/16/2008
20 g. Now the ad hoc form is launched. Note that the data source is selected and you can choose any number of dimensions and measures to build a query. h. Since a dimension and measure are already selected simply click the run button. WebFOCUS Quick Data for Excel Page 20 of 21 5/16/2008
21 i. Now add a second dimension and measure and run again. j. Now add and remove parameters as you wish. You re done!
