The Analytics List Component uses the SAP List Viewer (ALV) to display the data of a BEx query in tabular form, in graphical form, or as Crystal Reports. You can sort and filter data, define your own view, and export lists to Microsoft Excel. If you choose Crystal Reports to display the data, you can change the formatting to meet your requirements. For example, you can use your own template instead of the standard generic template. Hierarchies, however, cannot be displayed. If a BEx query contains hierarchies, the hierarchies are automatically deactivated.
