Want to make your reports become instantly more understandable and actionable? Enter P&L variance commentary directly within Power BI with Visual Planner. Often, Power BI dashboards and reports do not hold any comments or notes that would explain your figures, values and variances. If you can pull these explanations into your Power BI dashboards, users are able to better recognise what needs to be done and execute it accordingly.
How to Make Commentary Dynamic
End users no longer need to inefficiently enter comments in Excel or SharePoint and wait for the next scheduled refresh, and all data is stored on a database in your environment, ensuring any historical commentary can easily be filtered back to.
With Visual Planner, Finance teams can easily create, update and finalise budgets & forecasts. The integration of variance analysis further compliments this process by enabling users to efficiently access the most relevant commentary when creating new scenarios.
