Bricks

Start with a known total

Bricks presents dashboards, reports, charts, spreadsheets, and presentations built from data. Its site describes CSV and Excel workflows and distinguishes available connectors from ones marked as coming later. Confirm your exact source in the official product overview instead of assuming that a displayed connector logo means it is available.

A small but revealing trial

Prepare a sales table containing one refund, one missing region, and several transactions across a month boundary. Calculate a trusted net total first. Then ask Bricks for monthly sales and a regional breakdown, and reconcile both with that total.

Check whether missing values are excluded, refunds are treated as negative sales, and dates are grouped using the intended period. A clean chart can hide a wrong aggregation. Ask for the underlying table so someone else can reproduce the answer.

Test the next reporting cycle

Replace the source with a second period's data and check whether filters, labels, and calculations remain valid. Inspect both the shared view and exported report with a recipient's permissions. For confidential datasets, approve connection scope and data handling before a real upload. Compare with an existing spreadsheet template if the only recurring requirement is one stable calculation. This is an evaluation procedure, not an independent data-accuracy test.
