# ActivReporter

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/403147/activreporter

> ActivReporter is an Excel-based financial reporting and data analysis tool designed for users of Microsoft Dynamics GP. It allows organizations to create financial statements directly in Excel while offering drilldown capabilities to transaction details and drillback functionality to Dynamics GP source documents. It is designed for finance teams, controllers, and accounting departments that require efficient financial reporting and access to real-time Dynamics GP data.

The software includes the Activ Trial Balance, which provides a real-time view of financial data without requiring manual updates. It delivers high-speed data visualization, processing large volumes of records in a format similar to SmartList. ActivReporter offers over 50 Excel functions for extracting financial data, descriptions, and company information from the Dynamics GP database. It supports multiple Dynamics GP company databases under a single license, includes multicurrency capabilities, and allows the creation of reporting trees with color-coded worksheet tabs. Other features include column filtering, JavaScript automation, and the ability to email reports. It also supports Power BI integration through OData feeds.

Excel financial designs are stored in a secure database with version control for previous report iterations. The software supports user authentication through Active Directory and allows the creation of custom calendars beyond the standard Dynamics GP fiscal calendar. It eliminates traditional report generation steps, providing immediate access to financial information. Users can incorporate financial functions into any workbook, link to external spreadsheets such as budget files, and create pivot tables. Built-in tools include a dashboard for monitoring system health, reports such as Trial Balance Comparison and General Ledger Detail, and features for analyzing missing or duplicate chart of accounts entries.

## Reviews

### "Get ready to be blown away." — 5.0/5

> **Marty** | *23 June 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: ActivReporter is very flexible easy to use and fast,  I like that you do not have to reformat the Excel reports like you need to do with Management Reporter
> 
> **Cons**: Honestly there really is not anything I find an issue with ActivReporter.  Some of the formulas can get crazy but If I run into an issue the solution is only a phone call away.
> 
> I originally saw ActivReporter in Pheonix at Summit in 2018.  I was blown away from the first time I saw ActivReporter working. The speed alone is what sold me and the ease of use.

### "Non-Profit K-12 School gives A+ for reports" — 5.0/5

> **Randall** | *23 June 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Custom report help was exceptional. I love that the reports are excel based and are easy to modify. Our month end reporting package is so easy since we have templates we can just refresh. Reports load quickly, get to the point.
> 
> **Cons**: Separate log-in from Great Plains. The look and feel is not flashy, but we are looking for performance so that does not bother us at all.
> 
> Its been a lifesaver for getting our Board packet in a standard form. Its easy to use for our accounting staff and never crashes.
