Charting Sales Data Using R:Charts

Gary Wendike: Charting Annual Sales Data from over 40 million records

Gary presented a series of graphs that he has developed using R:Charts and R:BASE. Gary uses this dynamic duo to chart sales data for Farmland Foods to Wal-Mart. Data is tracked for a running 52 week time period.

R:Charts is an R:BASE add-on product that provides a charting solution for R:BASE databases. More information can be found at http://www.rcharts.com/

Using R:Charts, Gary produces over 120 reports each week to track sales data. The data is crunched and summarized from a massive table in R:BASE and sent to R:Charts to make a picture of the data that makes it easy to understand. “A picture is worth a thousand words”.

Interesting stuff.
