Newbies Technoir77 0 Posted June 15, 2020 Newbies Share Posted June 15, 2020 Hello, Not sure if this is the right place to ask. I am a novice here and using FileMaker Pro 16 Advanced at work, mostly entering customer / product infos at a consumer product co. I am wondering if there is a way to visualize important data, such as: Viewing a graph of individual product's sales performance over time. This will help decide whether a product needs to be discontinued or produced in greater qty. Statistics on geographic locations of buyers, so that we can target our ads more precisely Statistics on buyer gender etc Is this something that can be added via modules / plug-ins? Thanks!
