As Kilaru mentioned those are options, but there are many others depending
on your budget.

For basically free just training and time you could use oracles built in
cube functionality and then leverage oracle Apex for reporting.Its free and
pretty simple and has export to excel functionality.
or
You could look at opensource like JasperReports,Pentaho etc.
or
There are many just excel based reporting solutions too that utilize odbc.

Your best bet is to write down a list of requirements you have to have and
then a list of requirements you would like to have and compare some of the
ones out there.
