The market is filled up with so many BI tools and it's easy to make a mistake without understand the needs of an particular BI tool,Using the data visual tool for pure reporting purpose or reporting tool for data visual purpose is not an idle solution.
It has come a point where company's needs to have two different BI tool in in-house, one for pure day to day traditional report purpose and another one for Data visualization dashboard purpose.This doesn't mean Dashboard tool can’t do reporting the data visualization tools are designed to represent data in a much more data visualization way in one or two page level
I would suggest you consider revisiting your requirements or consider another approach if:
• Lets say You need a document that has been designed for paper, not the screen. By this, we mean if you have a need to control complex page layouts, need features such as page, section and group headers/ footers, or formatting.
• If you need an report which produce multi-page reports but they lack the level of format control that is
available in dedicated, banded-style reporting tools.
• Your need a document where the primary use case for the reader is to export the data to another format
(often a CSV or Excel file). This often means a report with many rows of detailed data.
• You need highly complex, crosstab-style documents that perhaps mirror existing spreadsheet reports with complex sub-totalling, cross-referencing, etc.
• If the underlying granular data is not available or if the report logic is based on “cell references” rather than rolling up records to totals then it might be appropriate to continue using a spreadsheet for this style of report.
