PowerPoint can be even simpler

In a world of market research and insight, PowerPoint is an important and indispensable tool used by most researchers to present their data and results. Although online reports and dashboards play a role, PowerPoint is clearly the king when it comes to reporting survey data. As readers, we expect well-thought-out report design and selection of tables, graphs, icons, colours, images, text, a clear and distinct communication of results.

Extracting results from crosstabs in Excel and translating them into well-communicating infographics in PowerPoint is all too often a manually handled process that is tedious, expensive and, above all, fraught with error. Copying and pasting their results from Excel into PowerPoint is possibly the most time-consuming part of any research assignment. These crosstab reports that we use still have the same look they did 30 years ago. Our computers and phones have all been upgraded since the 90s, so why haven’t these crosstab reports? These reports are so tedious and strenuous to work through, with reporting teams needing to pick the correct data from huge tables and adding then to PowerPoint; it’s long, expensive and the chance of errors are increasing constantly with a ton of checks needed. It’s not necessary, as we can now automate so much of the reporting process.

This is where OfficeReports comes in.
