Greetings, fellow data analysts!

The antique philosopher Aristoteles taught us that a whole is sometimes greater than the sum of its parts. Towards the end of the 19th cen­tury, however, the mathematician Giuseppe Peano proved that the whole is, in fact, the sum of its parts. Two sciences with two differ­ent views - and we can find ele­ments of both of them in Business Intelligence. OLAP applications deal with lots of sums and even more

parts. Views, filters, rankings, or limitations affect the whole in many dimensions and on different levels. And it soon it becomes difficult to differentiate what is a part, what is a sum, and which part belongs to which sum. Nevertheless, we still have to calculate it exactly. Fortu­nately with DeltaMaster, you don't have to solely depend on the sums that come out of the database. Using many different options, you can easily group and add things together that belong together.

Sometimes data analysis is more than just data and analysis. Then, it's DeltaMaster.
