What's new?

You can now customize how variances are displayed on each KPI card — choose between percentage or absolute variance based on what makes more sense for your metric.

Why?

Not all metrics are best understood as a percentage change. For some KPIs, the absolute difference provides more context and is easier to interpret. This new option gives you flexibility to choose the format that works best for each card.

How does it work?

• In the KPI settings modal, you’ll find a new option to select how you want the variance displayed:

  • Percentage (default and existing behavior)
  • Absolute

  • The variance is calculated as the difference between the selected version and the comparison:

    • For example, if Actuals = 500 and Budget = 400, the absolute variance is 100.
    • If the KPI is a percentage—e.g. Gross Margin is 45.2% vs. 43.0%—the absolute variance is shown as 2.2 pp (percentage points). No % symbol is displayed.
