Excel, the tool every business user loves

These days you can choose from a wide range of reporting and BI solutions like SAP Crystal Reports, Microsoft Power BI, Tableau, Alteryx or QlikView. However, they are expensive, come with a steep learning curve and are therefore usually handled by a dedicated team.

By using xlwings Reports as your reporting tool, business users can design and maintain their own reports directly within Excel without being dependent on a dedicated reporting team or Python programmer.

If you need to provide the data behind the report, it’s already there - no need to click that “Export to Excel button” in your favorite BI system.

Many believe that Excel can’t be used to produce high quality PDF reports. However, Excel charts are vector graphics and Excel accepts pictures (e.g. for logos) as svg files: This leads to pixel perfect reports that guarantee high quality printing.

xlwings Reports runs on Windows and macOS.
