I was experimenting the other day to get Management Reporter data and other Dynamics GP data together in one easy to make dashboard. It turned out to be easier than I had thought it might be.
Early in the process I came across some antiquities from Jan Harrigan that pointed me in the right direction regarding Management Reporter. It was easy to adapt her ideas about FRx, to MR:
Executive Reporting: Using Excel Charts with FRx
Graphing with FRx
I easily modified one of my detailed MR reports to just produce the summary information I wanted for my dashboard. And then I print the report and export to Excel. Use the same file name every time. The result is the graph that shows in the upper left part of the dash board.
Next I just added the other graphs I wanted, using refreshable Excel reports from Dynamics GP. I’ve shown this a few times here:

Here’s the result:
