About SeekTable modern BI tool

Let's suppose you have business data - like sales, production, financial transactions, actions log, audit/survey results etc - in Excel/CSV file or database and you want to find instant answers to specific business questions like:

• What happened?
• When? Who?
• How many?

You can get answers on these questions in seconds simply by uploading your data file into SeekTable cloud service and create useful reports (pivot tables, charts, datagrids) with a simple web interface. No IT background needed, it is enough to understand basic pivot table concepts. Pivot tables can be a great way to explore your data - even if you're not quite sure what you're looking for yet. Configured reports may be saved, exported to PDF or Excel file (preserving the layout), shared to other SeekTable users, published to web and embedded into any web page. You can automate reports generation and deliver them on schedule.

SeekTable usage is not limited only to pivot tables: it is also good for basic charts and usual table reports as well.

Supported Data Sources

• CSV/TSV/Excel files
• SQL drivers: SQL Server, MySql (MariaDB, SingleStore), PostgreSql (Amazon Redshift, QuestDB, cube.js), Oracle, ClickHouse, Google BigQuery, Snowflake, PrestoDB/Trino, DuckDB/MotherDuck
• MongoDb (+ protocol compatible cloud services: Amazon DocumentDB, Azure Cosmos DB)
• ElasticSearch
• XMLA OLAP server endpoints (SSAS, icCube)

Reports based on CSV data may be refreshed by uploading newer version of the data.

When database is used as a data source you always get actual data which makes SeekTable perfect for live (operational) reports; if your dataset is too large for direct queries you may use report parameters to apply filters by indexed column(s) or use pre-aggregated data views.
Note: initial setup of DB-based cube requires some IT knowledge. In particular, you should be able to specify a connection string and enable incoming connections from SeekTable's server; in case of SQL DB you need to know how to query your data. If you're not sure how to do that you may ask your IT or DB administrator to help you.

Web Pivot Table Features

• Labels grouping (several dimensions per rows or columns), totals/sub-totals, expand/collapse mode
• Several values (measures) in one table
• Sort table by values, totals or labels
• Quick filtering in a search-like manner
• Simple data exploration with drill-down function
• Pivot charts: bar, stacked bar, horizontal bar, line, scatter, area, pie, donut
• Server-side pagination for large pivot tables (thousands of rows or columns), top/last N limits
• Calculations: percentage of grand total/row total/column total, difference from prev/next row/column, differences as percentages, running totals
• Heatmap (highlight max values)
• Custom expressions (formulas) are supported for both dimensions and measures. In this way it is possible to apply custom HTML formatting inside table's cells.'
• A matrix may display data combined from multiple data sources (external lookups, combined measures)

Flat Table Features

You can use flat table reports to display raw (unaggregated) records.

• Choose what columns to display
• Sort by column and simple filter by columns (applied in data source query)
• Server-side pagination: prev/next or "show more"
• It is possible to link cells to create custom navigation between reports

Sharing/Export Features

• Both pivot tables and flat tables may be exported to PDF, CSV, Excel, JSON or plain HTML. Pivot tables may be exported to Excel PivotTable (2 worksheets: report's aggregated data + Excel PivotTable that displays it).
• Excel exports support colors and links configured with HTML formatting.
• Paginated PDF reports may include up to 50,000 rows. This limit can be increased in self-hosted SeekTable.
  PDF export of published report may be customized with CSS rules + custom title HTML (this requires "Advanced publishing" subscription). PDF footer may be customized in self-hosted SeekTable with a white-label mode subscription.
• You can automate reports generation and deliver them on schedule:
  • use built-in "Subscribe" function
  • setup tasks in 3rd party automation platforms: Zapier, MS Power Automate, Integromat
  • in a custom way by integrating SeekTable web API
• Reports may be published to web with a public link and embedded into any web page with IFRAME. Secure embedding with row-level security is supported in the self-hosted version.
• Cubes/reports maybe shared with other SeekTable users in a secure way with "Team sharing" feature.
