2. Choose the TIS Period option to get the report by different Periods. And choose the period you need.

3. When you have set all the necessary configurations, click the Apply button.

4. You can display any generated report on the Chart view.

You can choose one of two types of data visualization on the chart.

• Stacked column:

• Clustered stacked column:

 5. Choose the necessary Layout options (Grand totals, Subtotals, Layout).

6. Conditional formatting: you can apply it to the entire table and the particular Value. This option provides visual cues to help you quickly make sense of your data. For example, it’ll clearly show inequality based on the provided criteria.

In the first row, choose the calculated value, option for condition (less than, greater than, equal to, etc.) and enter the number.

In the second row, you can set the font and font size, text color, or highlight the cell. That will work if the condition in the first raw is true.

As a result, all cells where the value is bigger than the specified number will be highlighted with the color you’ve chosen.

 7. Export to the Excel or PDF files is available.

8. The Filter function allows you to filter a range of data based on your criteria. To do it, click gear near them and check the necessary options.
