Microsoft adds new Excel export tools to Management Reporter 2012 CU 10

Microsoft has rolled out Management Reporter 2012 CU10, which includes upgrades to some of the most voted on suggestions in MSConnect, including export to Excel enhancements, suppressing account category details on reports, and additional flexibility around company configuration for Dynamics GP.

The release will also be the last one to support Dynamics NAV and the beginning of the end for the legacy integration for Dynamics SL in favor of the newer datamart approach.

Management Reporter is used for financial reporting using general ledger data from Microsoft Dynamics ERP apps. Here's a summary of the new Management Reporter CU10 features:

• Export row-based TOT formulas to Excel: Now there's an option in the report definition to include formulas as part of the Excel download. Rows that have TOT formulas will have the formulas downloaded as part of the Excel download.

• Removed account category from showing in the viewer and exported reports
• Improved generation and viewing performance if using SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition
