The Lightning Tools Data Viewer allows you to connect easily to SharePoint Lists, Business Connectivity Services External Content Types, Microsoft SQL, Oracle, OData, XML, and ODBC data sources. Once connected you can style the data by applying data formatting the way you would like it to be displayed e.g. Short Date/Currency, and apply color formatting including conditional formatting to highlight important data.

Version 4 of the Data Viewer for SharePoint On-Premises is available to download now and contains over 50 improvements to styling, performance, connectivity to other web parts, and availability for SharePoint 2016.
