Guten Tag!

Many greetings from Munich, Germany. We have successfully finished our Shiny arc of this newsletter and now it’s time to move to other topics. And one thing that’s been on the top of my mind for a while is the fact that R & Quarto are a powerhouse for reporting.

  • embed charts into PDF reports,

  • add tables to Word or Powerpoint documents,

  • make interactive websites, or

  • create quick and easy dashboards.

And I want to cast a spotlight on all of the many tools that help in those kind of reporting endeavors. That’s exactly what we’ll do in the next couple of weeks and I’ve even sketched out a couple of things I want to cover on LinkedIn:

Originally, I wanted to start with that this week. But every now and then life gets in the way. So you can view this email as a teaser of what’s to come next and as your chance to influence what we’ll cover in this newsletter.

You see, if you have any specific things that you want to see more of that aren’t listed in my LinkedIn post, feel free to simply reply to this mail. I’m always happy to include great suggestions into this newsletter.

See you next week,
Albert 👋
