Integrated or External Reporting?

With Meisterplan you can use integrated reports as well as your preferred external reporting software such as MS Power BI or Tableau. This page gives an overview of the use of integrated reports. If you want to use external software, see the Reporting API section for details.

What Data Is Being Used for Reports?

The data set depends on the report type, which you select when adding the report to Meisterplan:

• For integrated "Pivot & Charts"-type reports, the data set is generally based on the date range, portfolio, and scenario you have selected in the top left of your screen while viewing the report. See the Integrated Pivot Reports - Overview and Templates article for details.
• For “Scenario Comparison”-type reports, you select the data set when opening the report.
• For “Weblink”-type reports, the data set is based on how you configure the third-party solution that you use for this report.
