interest of Palo for Excel

Hi everybody,

As recently as the last week, I didn't know Palo...
I would like to interest me in functionalities of Palo for Excel, so I started to make some tutorials.

And, for me, the main functionnality is multi-dimensionality.
But wasn't already the functionnality of the pivot table of Excel ?

In fact, my question is what does Palo for Excel make improvements in relation to the pivot table of Excel ?

Thanks a lot in advance

RE: interest of Palo for Excel

Hi guilart,

first of all Palo is a database, which means, you can store data on a server and make them accessible for multiple users, including the full scope of access rights handling. You can use a web interface to access (read/write) your data, and you can set up ETL processes to have automatic updates from and to your ERP system(s).

And Palo has some cool planning features which allow you to manipulate your data in ways that are far beyond the capabilities of Excel.

Does that make sense to you?

Regards
Holger
