A Quick Report shows data in rows and columns. A context area above the Quick Report shows the context members. You can create a Quick Report from an IBM Cognos TM1 Exploration View after you finish your analysis and want to present data by using more advanced cell-based features from Microsoft Excel.

Quick reports are the equivalent to snapshots (they are static and do not maintain a connection to TM1). To create a quick report, you create or open an exploration view and click Convert To then select an option:
