Generally a reporting service for the general economy would be out of this world. THe data is there-CPP just needs to build us a Pivot-like module where we can create our own reports.

Was the "nerd" etiquette reffering to me or the initial poster? If you mean the latter than I'm sorry you can't appreciate thevaluable service Cristobal is providing. I'm glad to see someone take the initiative and develop this service. IMO, this should be organized in a more formal basis, providing various reporting and consulting services to corporations that need it.
It definately is a market niche that no one has paid enough attention to.

BTW, you might want to stick to a basic rule which sais positive is green and negative is red. That is, numerically, not "good" or "bad". So if a price has a risen, and that is generallybad, you should still display it with green.
It's much less distractive and objective this way. Remember a report is a report, it's not a reccomendation or an opinion! You can add those after!
Just a friendly note!
Keep up the great work!

BTW, since you are comparing two prices, (start of week vs end of week) what you are showing is the "change" or "variance" not the trend. Trend reffers to something broader and usually involves a line graph indicating activity over a wide timescale (in our case months).
BTW, if you're collecting raw data, you might as well collect it into an excel spreadsheet so as to build a good database. Excel will also allow you to turn the data into pivot tables thereby giving you A LOT of flexibility as to how to display it.(different tables, graphs etc.)
Pivot table and cubes in general are very simple to make but if you've never worked with them before let me know and I'll make an example file for you.

That's a great idea...|But could corporations be the subscribers, or would it be a different account for each of their pilots? (That's a rather steep price if its the latter).
