Self-Service Reporting Gaps
Business users across departments cannot easily build, customize, or access the reports they need without technical help or manual workarounds.
In their words
the board pack today is still part (c) in places
each week and month they have to generate reports, for which they have to manually do all the analysis stuff from the excel sheet and then copy paste those numbers to their ppt report
Customers at my company want to build their own reports. Does anyone have experience designing a web based report sandbox hitting GraphQL?
then it sits half-used because nobody has time to learn DAX or maintain the model
what most of these companies need is a word processor that allows them to link FS data without the formatting BS. Like, some sort of Lite version.

Business and finance teams
Where they talk
- r/workday
- r/PowerBI
- r/Netsuite
- r/Accounting
- r/excel
- r/ClaudeAI
- r/analytics
- r/salesforce
Tools they use today
- Excel
- Power BI
- Workday
- NetSuite
- QuickBooks
- Claude
- SharePoint
- Microsoft Fabric
Why those fall short
- no QA or sign-off process; reviewers ghost until something breaks
- Drive won't render HTML cleanly; SharePoint scripting off
- new software cannot do the reporting work itself
- current reports don't fulfil reporting needs; team never learned to build new ones
- Limitations force using two separate programs to run reporting
