MIS Analyst ( Reporting)

[duddu]

Hello, just wondering I got a new title MIS Analyst..



What kind of work involved in this job?
I just want to learn before commencing work. I'm not a fast learner that's why.

Job description ::. Provide support and maintenance to existing management information systems (MIS). Generate and distribute management reports in accurate and timely manner. Perform data analysis for generating reports on a periodic basis. Generate both periodic and ad-hoc reports as needed.

Please help me in this if I can learn prior.

Thank you!!

that was MY exact title too.
I build a frmReports form. on it was a list of reports to choose from. (from tReports)
Title (name user sees)
ReportName (the actual report name , rptDaily,etc)
ParamFlag (a code to turn on parameter boxes, like date range, dept combo)
Macro (if not null, this runs a macro to produce the data for the report)

user select item in list, clicks Previw button.
report opens.
if D paramflag, then 2 text boxes are visible, txtStartDate, txtEndDate. The report query uses them to get the dates for the query
another flag to make the department combo box visible since THAT query uses it.

some reports need to build the report using temp tables, that is run thu the macro listed.

I suspect that the specifics could vary widely. I'd find out what tools they use and bone up on those. When they hired you, they must have specified what you should be proficient in.
