Every argument passed to ReportBuilder™ Functions can refer to default values or to the value of another cell. Each function supports optional parameters for passing the database connection, table name, column name, and so on.

In addition, the report beginning time and duration are optional parameters making it possible to report on different time frames within the same report. This is useful for breaking down lengthy reports into smaller sections. For example, a monthly report could report on each day of the month, or a daily report could report on each hour of the day and an annual report could display monthly subtotals.

Taking it a step further, you can also report for data that is outside of the normal reporting range. For example, you could configure a weekly report that compared the previous week's data with this week's data during the same time.
