Making Analysis Easy
Converting data into knowledge is a continuous and evolving process. Yellowfin frees business users from static reports and delivers the interaction they require.
With Yellowfin business users can:
- Conduct slice and dice OLAP analysis, drill anywhere across multiple data sources or from summary level to transaction level detail to find the information they are looking for.
- Apply analysis such as moving averages and regression to highlight trends in data.
- Use time-series zooming to scan large data sets to understand anomalies in their data.
- Use conditional formatting to set data alerts which highlight data exceptions.
With Yellowfin analysis you can allow users to autonomously explore their data and deepen their understanding of the key drivers for your business. Users can start their day reviewing their personalised dashboards, drill down to detailed reports for more information, and then drill to full analysis functionality to uncover the root causes of an issue.
OLAP Slice & Dice
Drill in on the data required to make decisions quickly
With Yellowfin slice-and-dice Relational and Multidimentional OLAP analysis allows users to view their data from many different perspectives with a click of the mouse on either table data or fully interactive charts.
 Drill Down
Users can easily increase the level of detail of a summary report. For example, a user can drill down from a report at the quarter level to month, week or date in a single step.
Users are not constrained to a single cube, view or data source. Users can easily drill across these entities with Yellowfin’s unique drill through capabilities.

- Quick Filtering of the Data
Filtering and Prompting is one of the most important features for a flexible reporting environment and providing users with guided analysis. It allows business users to interact with reports by refining the information that they access. The first step in analysis is the ability to focus on the subsets of data of relevance.

Time-Series Analysis
Move from birds eye to detail view quickly and easily
 Traditional reporting delivers static result sets which can hide trends or detail from users. However, with Yellowfin’s time series zoom functionality users can view large data sets, to observe the ‘big picture’, and then use the time slider to narrow down into specific date ranges to understand variances over shorter time periods.
Alert Highlighting & Exception Reporting
Utilise trending and alerts to gain rapid insight
 With Yellowfin users have the ability to track and monitor their key business metrics and receive real-time notifications when they are out of alignment. Once a notification has been received, business users can examine the irregularity, perform proactive root-cause analysis, and take corrective action.
