Join Mike Simpson as he shows you how to make your life easier using "Formulas and Variables in BusinessObjects."

A BusinessObjects document stores multiple 'reports' – formatted responses to queries, organized as tables or charts. Reports can be subdivided into sections and have calculations performed upon those sections. Join Mike Simpson and learn how to create and customize "Reports in BusinessObjects."
