Introduction

When analyzing Oracle data, you often need more than just a raw table of values — you want clarity.
Whether you’re preparing management reports, performing data analysis, or sharing summaries with your team, having a grouped and aggregated view of your data makes interpretation faster and more meaningful.

With KeepTool Hora, you can easily create grouped datasets from your Oracle database and export them directly to Excel, complete with hierarchy and summary calculations.
This feature not only saves time but also ensures that your data presentation remains consistent across tools.


Exporting Grouped Data to Excel Made Easy

Working with structured data is about uncovering relationships and insights, not merely listing rows.
KeepTool Hora’s powerful grid interface allows you to group, filter, and summarize data with just a few clicks — no SQL skills required.
Once grouped, you can export the results to Excel while preserving the entire grouping structure.
As a result, your Excel report looks just like your Hora view, including subtotals and expandable groups.



How Grouping Works in Hora

Grouping in Hora is intuitive and highly interactive.
Simply drag one or more column headers into the grouping panel located above the data grid.
Immediately, the dataset reorganizes itself into logical sections based on the fields you’ve selected.
In addition, you can expand or collapse individual groups to focus on specific subsets of data.

Moreover, Hora automatically computes aggregate functions such as SUM, COUNT, MIN, MAX, and AVG for each group and for the entire dataset.
This means you can instantly see summarized figures without writing a single line of SQL or manually calculating totals in Excel.


Exporting to Excel While Preserving Structure

Once your grouped view is ready, you can export it to Excel with a single click.
The exported spreadsheet mirrors the Hora display, maintaining all grouping levels, summary rows, and hierarchy.
In other words, the Excel output preserves the structure and readability of your data — making it ideal for reports, presentations, or further analysis.

Furthermore, the export respects sorting, filters, and conditional formatting.
Therefore, the data you share looks clean, consistent, and ready for professional use — without any extra manual formatting.


Key Benefits

  • Faster reporting: Build clear, structured exports instantly, without complex SQL queries.

  • Consistency: Ensure that what you see in Hora matches exactly what appears in Excel.

  • Flexibility: Combine grouping with filters and custom queries to generate tailored views.

  • Professional output: Deliver high-quality Excel sheets that are ready to use or present.

Overall, this feature connects the precision of Oracle databases with the accessibility of Excel, empowering teams to create powerful, data-driven reports in minutes.


Try It Yourself

To experience the convenience for yourself, open Hora, execute a query, group your results visually, and then export them to Excel.
You’ll immediately see how easily you can turn complex Oracle data into clear, structured Excel reports — without losing any details.
