James -

Thanks for your opinion. However, this isn’t a political action kind of blog, so your protest is misplaced. In addition, you are misreading the chart: except for the under 15 age group, the numbers of abortions have been declining.

You stupid idiots need to do something about abortion. It needs to STOP NOW!
There are millions of young children and babies that could have a life and a future that never make it because of your women and their stupid decisions.
What about the stupid chart? Haven’t you noticed that the rate is going up and up each year? Every child deserves a life and to live and to be happy. You waste of time people just don’t care, those babies could be YOUR children those babies could be YOUR grand kids. C’MON from man to man, believe that we can change the future and we can change lives, let them live on. I just want you people to notice what is wrong here, and this is IT, this is wrong. Babies are a gift from god and i don’t think god appreciates the way we treat his children, these are little angels we’re killing HERE!
PLEASE, i’m begging for a change and i need your help!
thank you.

Andreas – I’ve looked at XLCubed in the past with much envy and the VisualGrids are great. However, I provide solutions for small businesses (under 100 employees), most of whom don’t have OLAP servers. Also, when a company does not advertise pricing online it strikes fear in me. Having said that, I’ve recently downloaded an eval copy of XLCubded to take a closer look.

Jon – Great idea. Best of luck! Let’s see if you can get out of the gate before Microsoft :-)

Colin – Among the twelve gajillion items on my back burner is a utility to make panel charts such as the one in this article. Microsoft may not put everything into their products, but they did build in flexibility. I’ve used all manner of data sources in these charts, including pivot tables. The hard part is coding all the interaction I have with a chart before it’s “ready”.

Andreas – Sounds interesting. I’ll have to check it out.
