A data analysis tool business users actually open

Most data analysis software is bought for analysts and abandoned by everyone else. Easy Pivot is built the other way round — a self-service analysis workspace where a business user connects a data source, drags dimensions and measures to explore, and shares what they found, without writing SQL and without filing a request.

Why teams go looking for this

Analysis queues behind the data team

When every question needs a query written by someone else, the answer arrives after the decision. Self-service means the person with the question can answer it.

The tool assumes you write SQL

A lot of data analysis software is really an IDE with a chart on top. If the interface starts with a query editor, most of the business will never open it.

Exploration is not repeatable

Ad hoc work done in a personal file cannot be reviewed, reused or scheduled. Analysis that cannot be shared is analysis that gets redone.

What you get

Drag-and-drop exploration

Build cross tables, charts and pivot views by dragging dimensions and measures. No query language, no formulas, no scripting.

One semantic layer

A dataset defines the queries, dimensions, measures and aggregation rules once. Every chart built on it agrees on what a metric means.

Calculated fields and LOD

Derive new measures from existing fields, and fix the granularity a measure is computed at with Level of Detail expressions.

Universal connectivity

Relational databases over JDBC, Elasticsearch, HTTP APIs returning JSON, and Excel, CSV or plain text files — so the analysis starts where the data already is.

Ad hoc to shared, in one step

Anything you explore can be saved, added to a dashboard, scheduled for email delivery, or embedded in another application.

Governance that does not block

Row-level and column-level permissions mean self-service does not mean everyone sees everything. Central data models stay reusable and consistent.

What teams use it for

Self-service reporting

Business users answer their own questions against a governed dataset, instead of queuing for a custom report each time.

Ad hoc investigation

When a number looks wrong, drill from the dashboard into the underlying rows and find out why, in the same tool.

Business analysis across departments

Finance, sales and operations analyse their own domains while reading from shared definitions, so the numbers reconcile.

Common questions

Do business users need training to use it?

The analysis workspace is a drag-and-drop designer: dimensions and measures are dragged onto rows, columns and the data area. Anyone who has used a spreadsheet pivot table will recognise the interaction.

What is the difference between a dataset and a chart?

A dataset is the semantic layer — the query, dimensions, measures and aggregation rules. A chart is a view built on top of it. Defining metrics in the dataset is what keeps every chart consistent.

Can analysts still write SQL?

Yes. A database dataset is defined by a SQL query, and variables can be used inside it. The point is that SQL is optional for the people analysing the data, not that it is unavailable.

How does this differ from analysing data in a spreadsheet?

The analysis runs against your live data source rather than a file, so it is not capped by spreadsheet row limits and does not go stale. Results are shareable, schedulable and governed by permissions.

Is there an AI or natural-language option?

ChatBI — querying your data in plain English — is coming soon. It is not released yet, and every page on this site describes it as coming soon.
