Every once and a while I run across a reporting technique that makes me say: Wow – that was really clever.
In going through the new charting in BusinessObjects v4.0, I noticed that there was no histogram available. After doing a Google search I found a great article by Alastair Gulland.
Alastair uses a combination of straight-forward formulas and out-of-the-box thinking. A brilliant combination. He also introduces a way of making the histogram dynamic by using a Input Control. Very nice. It’s definitely worth checking out.
