Depending on the amount of data that you want to analyze, you might be able to use Excel Pivot Tables to do the job.

Contrary to popular belief, Excel Pivot Tables can handle far more than 65K rows of data. At the same time, Excel reduces significantly training time since most users already know how to use it. Not to mention the price.

Take a look at the whitepaper on pivot tables on my web site: http://visionds.net/hcorrea

Yet, it you want to analyze billions of records, then you will probably need a separate product to do it.
