If you use pivot tables you are going to love Tableau.

Tableau can read data from Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, Text Files, MySQL, MS SQL Server, MS Analysis Services, Oracle, Hyperion Essbase, and IBM DB2 OLAP Server and produce the most amazing tabulations and graphs with amazing speed. Everything is drag-and-drop and about as intuitive as it gets. Tableau will be covered in a forthcoming Gearhead review.
