XLCubed is a versatile tool that empowers users to build and manage their own reports, promoting transparency and reducing the risk of relying on outdated Excel workbooks. With XLCubed, users can create standardized reporting, dashboarding, and planning solutions, streamlining their reporting processes.
The integration with Microsoft Dynamics Business Central/NAV is particularly valuable for finance departments, as it enables them to generate financial statements and inventory data reports directly from the system. Accessing these reports through a web browser ensures timely and accurate information, with the added benefit of security filtering by dimension. Additionally, XLCubed helps declutter TM1 installations and provides cloud-enabled reporting that is seamlessly connected to TM1.
The software offers a range of features tailored to the needs of controllers, including cell level text input, audit trails, scenarios, IBCS graphs, and ad-hoc analysis. This functionality facilitates dynamic reporting, deep-diving into data, drill-through capabilities, and ad-hoc analysis. The ease of use and integration with Excel further enhance its capabilities by leveraging Excel functionalities and connecting to various data sources.
Furthermore, XLCubed serves as a valuable tool for creating balance sheet and profit and loss reports. It also excels in exceptional reporting for customers. Finance departments benefit from XLCubed's ability to provide consolidated group financial reporting, support ad-hoc analysis, and simplify the creation of dashboards. By offering users the ability to build their own reports, XLCubed promotes the concept of a single source of truth while replacing multiple Excel workbooks.
Intuitive and User-Friendly: Users have consistently praised XLCubed for its intuitive nature, with many stating that it is easy to navigate and use. Several reviewers have highlighted how the tool's user-friendly interface allows them to create their own reports effortlessly without requiring extensive training or technical expertise.
Seamless Integration with Excel: Many users appreciate how seamlessly XLCubed integrates with Excel, enabling them to leverage their existing Excel skills and transfer their knowledge directly to XLCubed. This integration eliminates the need for users to learn a new software platform, making it easier for them to adopt and incorporate XLCubed into their workflow.
Responsive Customer Support: The customer support provided by XLCubed has received high praise from users who report receiving fast and effective assistance. Reviewers have expressed satisfaction with the responsiveness of the support team, highlighting that they receive prompt answers to their questions and problems.
Cons:
- Overwhelming number of settings: Some users have found the sheer number of settings in the software to be overwhelming and time-consuming. They suggest that highlighting the most important settings would be helpful for casual users.
- Limited customization options: Users have expressed concerns about limitations in customization, such as the inability to customize error handling and the default date dimension being set to today. This may restrict flexibility for certain users.
- Complex user interface management: Several users have highlighted the need for better front-end interface management of custom SQL connections and table generation/editing. The current process seems confusing and could benefit from simplification or improved usability features.

XLCubed Client is distributed to our Analysts, Accountants, and Asset Managers. The ability for users to build and own their reports has helped to push the concept of a single source of truth, replacing information housed in multiple Excel workbooks. Now users can query the cubes thru XLCubed for that source of truth, reducing the risk of a user working from outdated Excel workbooks.
- XLCubed's design grid is very intuitive, allowing our users to begin building their queries right away.
- XLCubed's recent v10 release includes very effective and attractive small multiple charts. And, since these are connected directly to live data, no time is wasted in copying and pasting data into Excel.
- XLCubed's web platform allows us to publish data to our third parties in an effective and rapid manner.
- We are looking forward to there being training resources for U.S. customers, i.e., online classes, certifications, etc.

XLCubed has both graphic capability and tailored report capability, ie., balance sheet, income statement, etc. Both are easily created since the platform is Excel. This is powerful since many of our accountants need the flexibility of being able to work around the data with additional Excel formulas, etc. This is not easy or even possible in most other tools (Tableau, Microsoft Power BI, or Dundas).
