Effectively communicating insights derived from data is a cornerstone of successful decision-making in today's landscape. Yet, many businesses struggle to translate complex analytics into compelling narratives that resonate with diverse audiences. The ability to create engaging and informative presentations directly from data is a critical requirement for modern embedded analytics platforms.

A very common request we get from analytics users across all industries is the ability to export dashboard and analytic content to external files for collaboration and sharing. Whether the requirement is to export to PDF or export to XLS, exporting dashboard content to another popular media format remains an expected and important feature of modern business intelligence (BI). However, many analytics vendors lack options in exporting content, limiting the ability to share reports with non-analytics users.

Whether you’re an analyst or non-technical, Yellowfin Stories and Present, our exclusive data storytelling features, make it easy to create and share data-led narratives with peers that provide insightful context, inspires action, and fosters a data-driven culture. Now, it’s no secret Yellowfin have been big believers of data storytelling since day one.

Welcome to the latest entry in Yellowfin Japan’s ‘How to?’ blog series! This series of blogs aims to provide your team with another hands-on example of adding data visualization to your Yellowfin dashboards, using our array of chart and graph types. In our previous blog, we created a heat grid by aggregating on the basis of Day of Week and Time of Day. By sorting the axes of the chart, we were able to create an easy-to-read chart lined up from Sunday to Saturday and from 0:00 to 23:00.

Yellowfin is an embedded analytics solution with several features that can help improve the data preparation, reporting and analysis process for your end-users, and many configurations and customizations for your developers to achieve a seamless integration. With so many development scenarios, use cases and end-user requests unique to your business, however, we understand it can initially be a bit daunting to start your project.
