BW

Key Concept
In Xcelsius 2008, Xcelsius Designer integrates directly with Microsoft Excel, which enables you to create your dashboards in Xcelsius, without having to switch between the applications. The Data Manager serves as the central location for managing the data.

Find out how to use Xcelsius 2008 connectivity, which allows you to connect directly to your SAP NetWeaver BW system without the need for any middle layers. In addition, the connectivity provides you with functionality and metadata support from your SAP NetWeaver BW queries.

I show you how to use the SAP NetWeaver BW connectivity with Xcelsius 2008 to define a dashboard that displays net sales revenue broken down by product and by calendar month. In addition, the dashboard offers drill-down capabilities that enable the user to see the details for a single product (for 12 months) or for a single month (showing revenue by product).
