Pivot Table report writing your DB2 Data on POWER server; NOT Excel spreadsheets

Buck,
Instead of the ubiquitous Excel spreadsheet with its weaknesses and
limitations you mentioned, we could use a server-based reporting tool
that has Pivot table functions (twist, or pivot, a selection of rows and
columns around a third selected variable, and thereby add an extra layer
of depth to the spreadsheet [giving it elements of a multidimensional
database, but without the complexity]).
I would like to get away from spreadsheets and use something like
mrc's m-Power software.
