Downloading is an investment in professionalizing your reporting capabilities. With its native 64-bit speed, enhanced Excel exporting, and improved web viewing capabilities, it remains an essential tool for creating accurate, actionable business intelligence.

The most significant hurdle for older reporting tools is connecting to modern cloud databases. CR 2020 ships with updated drivers and supports:

Corporate firewalls often block the large (.ISO or .EXE) files from SAP servers; try downloading from a guest network if the speed is throttled.

Open the ODBC Data Source Administrator (64-bit) application in Windows to establish connections to your enterprise databases (such as SQL Server, Oracle, or MySQL).

A standout feature in the 2020 update is the new Freeze Panel button in the web viewer. Similar to Excel, this allows users to lock rows or columns, making it easier to compare data across large reports.
