Overview

FastReport Analysis VCL is a powerful OLAP component designed for Delphi and C++Builder application developers. It enables rapid processing of large data arrays and transforms them into compact, generalized reports featuring interactive cross tables, charts, and graphics. By integrating this OLAP library into your applications, users gain the ability to analyze data and perform business intelligence operations directly within the app environment.

Features and Capabilities

• **High-Speed OLAP Engine: ** Processes large volumes of structured data in real-time, allowing users to analyze millions of records with minimal latency. Optimized for performance with memory-efficient architecture.
• **Interactive Cross Tables (Pivot Tables): **Allows dynamic creation and manipulation of cross tables with support for nested row and column groupings, customizable aggregation (SUM, COUNT, AVG, MIN, MAX), and multi-level headers. Users can drill down into data and rearrange dimensions on the fly.
• **Integrated Charting with TeeChart: **Generates visual representations (bar, pie, line, area charts, etc.) from OLAP cubes and slices. Charts are synchronized with table filters and reflect real-time data changes.
• **Flexible Data Source Support: **Compatible with any TDataSet-based components including ADO, BDE, IBX, FIBPlus, and others. Enables access to a wide variety of databases such as SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and more.
• **Advanced Filtering and Slicing Capabilities: **Supports global filters (data cube-wide) and independent field-level filters to isolate data sets, compare subsets, and explore trends and outliers across multiple metrics.
• **Conditional Formatting and Styling: **Enables automatic formatting of cells and fields based on predefined conditions, such as coloring high/low values, flagging thresholds, or displaying visual alerts directly in the table.
• **Data Export Functionality: **Exports OLAP table views and chart outputs to popular formats including Microsoft Excel, Word, HTML, XML, CSV, and others. Facilitates integration with external reporting and business tools.
• **Custom Calculations via FastScript: **Built-in scripting language (FastScript) allows users and developers to create complex calculated fields, custom metrics, and dynamic data transformation routines directly within the component.
• **Built-in Graphic Engine (GDI): **Uses a native GDI rendering engine for smooth drawing of text, grid lines, background graphics, and chart components. Supports high-resolution output and custom themes.
• **Intuitive End-User Interface: **Offers a user-friendly UI for non-technical users to filter, pivot, and chart data without developer intervention. Drag-and-drop interface enables easy creation of reports and dashboards.
• **Multilingual and Unicode Support: **Fully supports Unicode characters for multilingual applications, ensuring proper display and sorting of global data sets.
• **Complete Source Code Availability: **Includes full Delphi and C++Builder source code, enabling full transparency, extensive customization, and long-term maintainability. Ideal for companies requiring tailored OLAP behavior.
• **Seamless Integration with Delphi and C++Builder: **Designed specifically for Embarcadero RAD Studio environments (Delphi and C++Builder), ensuring native compatibility and rapid development workflows.
• **Minimal External Dependencies: **Self-contained component set with minimal reliance on third-party frameworks or libraries, reducing setup complexity and potential conflicts.
• **Customizable Aggregation Functions: **Supports the addition of user-defined aggregation methods for specialized business logic or industry-specific metrics.
• **Modular Architecture: **Allows components to be reused across multiple projects or embedded in larger enterprise applications without duplicating code.
