What are Crystal Reports and Pivot Reports?

Crystal Reports is an easy to use report writer that enables you to turn your data into actionable reports. The Pivot Tables tool is one of the most powerful yet intimidating features in Excel. Pivot reports allow you to quickly summarize and analyze large amounts of data by dragging and dropping columns to different rows, columns, or summary positions.

Training Topics:

  • Creating an export of the desired Blackbaud data
  • Understanding the Crystal design elements
  • Sorting, grouping and selecting records in Crystal
  • Formatting data in Crystal
  • Using Crystal formulas
  • Overview of working with Pivot reports
  • Creating a basic pivot report
  • Creating an advanced pivot report

We hope to see you at the upcoming event. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give us a call.
