Building Dashboards with Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016
By :

As we mentioned in Chapter 1, Getting Data from Dynamics GP 2016 to Excel 2016, shortly after the release of GP 2016, Microsoft announced that Management Reporter was moving to maintenance only mode. This announcement was made in conjunction with the announcement that Jet Reports was releasing a version of Jet Express for Excel that works with GP, in collaboration with Microsoft. This offering will fill in the gap that was being left by Management Reporter. Jet Express for Excel has different feature sets than Management Reporter. For starters, it is an Excel add-on, which is why we included a few chapters in this book on this very cool product. Also, did we mention it is free to GP users? Well it is, so why not use it?
In this chapter, you will learn more about Jet Express for Excel and create our first report. We'll achieve these goals by covering the following topics:
Change the font size
Change margin width
Change background colour
