QuSheet

QuSheet is a shareware Windows HTML Report Generator with "dynamic document" capability developed by Richard Develyn Ltd.
QuSheet's purpose in life is to take data from either external sources such as spreadsheets, word processors and databases, or data input through the tool's own user interface, and then slice, dice, calculate and format it into a report which:
* presents the information in the most viewer-friendly manner,
* allows the viewer control over the level of details that they can see, so as not to drown them in information,
* uses a format (HTML) which can be viewed by anyone with a Web Browser.
Features
