OfficeReports is a powerful suite of Microsoft Office add-ins that enables market researchers and data professionals to analyze survey data and generate fully automated reports—directly within Excel and PowerPoint. By embedding advanced analytics and reporting capabilities inside the tools users already rely on, OfficeReports eliminates the need for manual copy-paste, external scripting, and disconnected workflows. The suite includes three tightly integrated tools: Calculo: Perform advanced cross-tabulations, apply filters, weighting, and run statistical significance tests (Z-tests, T-tests) from raw survey data (.sav, .csv, or Excel). Built for Excel, Calculo gives researchers full analytical power within a familiar interface. Presento: Automatically generate branded PowerPoint slides from structured crosstab data. Presento supports dynamic resizing of tables and charts, uses icons to visualize significance, and can replace text labels with brand logos—ensuring cleaner, more intuitive presentations. Intelligo: Combines Calculo and Presento into one seamless solution for recurring and high-volume survey reporting. Build your reports using preliminary data, then update all charts and tables with one click when final data becomes available—ideal for tracking studies and syndicated research. OfficeReports supports integration with SPSS, SurveyMonkey, Qualtrics, Alchemer, and more, making it a scalable, accurate, and efficient reporting platform for insights-driven teams in over 30 countries. It’s designed to reduce effort, eliminate human error, and increase time-to-insight—without ever leaving Office.

PBRS is a third-party tool that enhances the functionality of Power BI reports by providing advanced features for scheduling, automation, and distribution. With PBRS, you can: - Schedule Power BI reports to run at specific dates and times, or set up recurring schedules based on custom frequencies. For example, you can schedule a report to run every hour, every other day, or on the third Monday of the month. - Automate Power BI reports to run based on specific events or conditions. For example, you can trigger a report to run when a database record is changed, when data is received on a port, when an unread email exists in a folder, or if a file exists. - Distribute Power BI reports in various formats and to multiple destinations. You can specify different filters, formats (such as Excel, PDF, or CSV), destinations (such as email, SharePoint, or network folders), and recipients for each scheduled report. This flexibility enables you to tailor the distribution of reports to meet the specific needs of your organization. PBRS works seamlessly with various Power BI environments, including Power BI Service (Pro and PPU), Power BI Report Server (On-Premises), Power BI Premium, and all editions of SQL Server Reporting Services
