Data Applications → XLCubed Excel plugin dashboards for Oracle EBS
This guide shows you how to install and configure this data application.
What does it do?
This data application helps you perform advanced analytics on your Oracle EBS financial data with Incorta’s customizable dashboards for the XLCubed Excel plugin. After deploying and loading the data in Incorta, you’ll have control over the fine-grain details, layout, and formatting, so you can visualize, publish, and share your customized reports.
Sample dashboards include advanced income statements, budget variance analysis, global sales variable analysis, and an advanced general ledger income statement. Visualization variations include sparkline charts, variance charts, and structural waterfall charts.
Answer questions like:
- What categories made up our income in different years? (income statement)
- How did our profit and loss statements change between this year and last year? (budget variance analysis)
- How do our sales vary by country? (global sales variable analysis)
- What are our most expensive products to produce?
If you only need Oracle EBS General Ledger (GL) dashboards, consider using the Oracle EBS General Ledger data application instead. It contains the same GL dashboards.
