Why come to our session?
Katie and I are really fantabulous. Katie is an SAP Product Manager for NetWeaver, and I'm in the NetWeaver RIG. That's really fancy... But for real, we're going to cover lots of interesting things you can do with the BEx Analyzer. It's a 4 hour hands on session so we'll spend a lot of this class going through exercises and giving you hands on experience.Some Snazzy things Excel Integration does?
So you've seen some fun screenshots, but these are only a sampling of some of the cool applications you can build with Excel integration. You can build very customized dashboard applications, use VBA exits, or Excel formulas. In addition, these applications can be broadcasted or pre-calculated using BEx Broadcasting!!!Summary
So you've seen some cool screenshots, but what would be cooler is if you got to play with this stuff on your own. Come with questions, and we may even build some groovy adhoc scenarios to show you. Definitely come check out this session. It will rock! Also, don't forget to check out Katie's blog on this session as she owns it and is planning lots of fun stuff.
