I would like to thank my co-author, Edward Cody, for introducing me to the Pakt Publishing family and for his efforts to make this book a reality. I would also like to thank Jake Vose and Amy Gartner for their valuable input and content contributions. Thank you to the managers, customers, peers and mentors who have supported me throughout my career. Special thanks are owed to both Mark Ostroff for introducing me to Hyperion Interactive Reporting, and to Stanley Quick for providing a supportive development environment rich with creative freedom. Without their encouragement, guidance and friendship, I would not be where I am today. Last, but certainly not least, I would like to thank my family for their love and support; without you, I'd be lost.
