Guest post by Robert Lightner Quick intro from Tim: Robert Lightner (like Brade Kostreva last week) is one of a growing number of Acumatica users who have been using the product and really like what they see. So much so that they do crazy things like writing posts on their own time to share with other Acumatica aficionados. What we are witnessing here is a grassroots community that is forming before our very eyes. Speaking of community, Robert has expressed interest in starting an Acumatica … [Read more...]
Of Acumatica and Power BI – A Tale Loosely Inspired by the title of a classic novel by John Steinbeck (Guest Post)

Unlike me, an Acumatica reporting hobbyist, Brad is actually using Acumatica, Excel, and Power BI in the real world. I'm looking forward to hearing his real world experiences in this and future … [Read more...]

Lots of sunny days with white puffy clouds slowly moving across the sky. We have been able to take a good number of trips to the local pool and the Columbus zoo.

July 2015
Dear Reader, Welcome to the seventh issue of the Acumatica Reports Newsletter. This email goes out on the last day of every month. I spent the entire month of July in Southern California with my wife and two kids visiting family.

Excel Online Web App and Acumatica
Wow, I can't believe that it's been two months since my last substantial blog post! But it is Summertime and family activities take priority over the blog. We did some camping, made a trip to California to see family, and have generally been having a blast enjoying the nice Summer weather. Now it's time for a long overdue blog post. Two months ago we built a very simple example of a dashboard in Excel (click here). Since we built it from an Acumatica OData connection, we were able to … [Read more...]
