✨ What’s new

• Rank by top or bottom N. Choose any dimension (clients, vendors, cost centers, regions...), set a direction (top or bottom) and a number. The table shows only those rows, ranked by their contribution to each variable.
• Pick exactly which column drives the ranking. Select the specific time period and version column you want the ranking based on.
• Keep totals accurate with the "Other" group. Items outside your Top N are automatically consolidated into a single "Other" row, so the table total always adds up. You can choose to show or hide it.
• Layer with existing filters. Top N works alongside dimension item filters. If a space-level filter is active, Top N ranks within those results, not across all data.

⚙️ How it works

1. Open the table builder and click + Add filters.
2. Select a dimension, then choose "is in top" or "is in bottom" instead of "is".
3. Configure the rank number, the column to rank by, and whether to show the "Other" group. Click Apply.

KPI cards now support two comparisons at once, so you can track Actuals against Budget and Last Period on a single card, without duplication.

✨ What's new

• Add up to two comparisons per KPI card
• Each comparison displays with its own label and variance badge — no ambiguity about which delta belongs to which version

⚙️ How it works

1. Open the KPI card settings and go to the Setup tab
2. Click + Add comparison and select a version (and scenario, if applicable)
3. Variance format (% or absolute) applies across both comparisons — set it once for the card

We’re putting the power of deep analysis into everyone’s hands. With our new Block Controls, any user can slice, dice, and pivot data directly within a Space—making analysis faster and more flexible than ever.

✨ What’s New

Stop waiting for report updates. You can now perform instant ad-hoc analysis on tables and charts within a Space. Pivot data hierarchies, switch time granularities, or apply local filters to answer "what-if" questions instantly, without ever opening the Table Builder.

⚙️ How it Works

Once an Admin enables Block Controls in the Table Builder, users can interact with them directly in any Space. There are three types of controls:

• Dimension. Filter specific items (like products or countries) to narrow your view.
• Time Aggregation. Toggle between Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly, or Total views with a single click.
• Grouping. Change your data hierarchy instantly by dragging and dropping dimensions (e.g., swapping ‘Region > Department’ to ‘Department > Region’).

Set consistent colors for table backgrounds and column headers across your organization with ease.

What Does This Feature Do?

You can now define default colors for your tables' background and various column headers such as time frames, actuals, forecasts, budgets, variances, and more directly from the organization settings. This ensures that all your current tables and new columns will automatically adhere to your predefined styles, eliminating the need for manual adjustments.

Why is it important?

• Consistency across all tables: Achieve a unified and on-brand appearance for all tables within your organization.
• Time-saving: Reduce the time spent manually coloring headers cell by cell. New columns will automatically adopt your set styles.
• Flexibility: Easily detach specific tables from your company settings for more customization. This allows you to tailor individual tables without affecting the overall organization settings.

How does it work?

Navigate to "Company settings", select the "Tables" section, and configure your preferred colors for table backgrounds and column headers. These settings will automatically apply to all current and new tables and columns, ensuring a consistent look across your data. If needed, you can detach specific tables from the company settings at the table level, providing greater customization.

Take into consideration that existing cell, column and row level styles will not be impacted by these changes as they take precedence over the new settings.

For more information about the feature, please visit the Academy.

If you cannot see the feature as active, please contact your Abacum point of contact or reach out to Support.

What's new?

You can now control the number of decimals of variance percentages.

Why does it matter?

Previously, it was not possible to adjust the number of decimal places for variance % values, which meant that you were stuck to 2 decimals. This often led to cluttered visualizations that were difficult to interpret.

What's new?

Spaces have a brand new look and feel and more options to customise blocks and report layouts! 

What's included in this release:

• Refreshed Spaces UI: We've given Spaces a fresh new look with an updated visual style for tables, charts, and callouts. You can now also adjust the height of your blocks and control how table columns are displayed as compact or full-width, giving you more flexibility to create polished reports to share or export.
• Flexible report presentation: We understand the significance of presenting your reports effectively. That's why we've introduced a new feature that allows you to set Spaces to a fixed width. This ensures a consistent viewing experience for your audience, regardless of their screen size, and also optimizes the layout for PDF exports.

How does it work?

To set the height of a block go to 6-dots (block contextual menu) and set your preferred height. Try it on side-by-side blocks and it will automatically align them. Full explanation here. 

To adjust the width of spaces go to the 3-dot menu of a space and set it to “fixed”. Everyone visiting the space will now see it exactly like that. Learn how it works here. 

We are happy to introduce you to our new feature that allows you to Show only relevant dimension filters on spaces!

What's new?

Previously, our filters on spaces showed all possible dimensions users have in the system.

Now, our filters are narrowed down to only the relevant ones (in use) in that space. 

Why does it matter?

🔍 Clarity and Simplicity: Say goodbye to the confusion of seeing irrelevant dimensions cluttering your view. 

🎯 Effortless Navigation: Locate and select the ones you only want to use.

It also represents a relevant performance improvement.

How does it work?

It's simple. Whenever you use the filter on your spaces, you will only see available those dimensions that are in use in that same space.

Considerations:

• If the Space content is modified(add/remove a metric card, add/remove a table), the available dimensions will be refreshed.
• If any of the table variables are changed, the available dimensions will be refreshed.

We have exciting news for you! 🚀

You can now sort dimension items both alphabetically (ascending and descending) and by the amount

This new release will help you customize your items order and will save you time analyzing your figures. 

Hint: Currently we are only supporting the sorting option in tree tables.

Add your comparison to your Metric Cards!

Compare important key performance indicators (KPIs) against a version or a previous period in a visually striking manner ⚡

Like in tables, set a comparison against:

• vs last period
• vs the same period from last year
• vs forecast
• vs budget

Keep on using them by typing our command palette "/"

We're excited to announce that from now on you can select variables from ANY Module Builder section in the Table Builder.

Previously, only OUTPUT variables were available in the Table Builder

Now, both ASSUMPTIONS and CALCULATIONS are also options to be shown in tables and charts.

This should help you:

1. Making your modeling experience more comprehensible.

2. Enabling Scenarios in Abacum
