An electricity company gets periodically electricity consumption reports in Excel sheets out of their system. The monthly reports contain electricity consumption of each district of Helsinki. FME provided an easy way to process the Excel data automatically, merge it with city district geometries and visualize the data with charts and pie charts in PDF files based on different criteria. Thus the users get an access to the PDF files, and can see, how the electricity consumption behaves.
