Many of my applications have reporting for clients and they inevitably end up being reports that look like a spreadsheet with column headings and records going down like rows. I'd also like to have a filter drop down and custom placement of report parts.

Is this possible using drupal? which modules do I need to learn?

Many thanks!

Have a look at the documentation for the Views module at http://drupal.org/node/109604.

Views gives you a table layout and filters.

If you need really complex relationships, take a look at the ajax table as well.

http://drupal.org/project/ajaxtable

I had a relationship that crossed 5 custom content types and this was near impossible to implement using views, and the queries that are generated were not that efficient.

It does require custom programming.
