We’ve introduced a new Variance Report chart type in Ternary Reporting. This view helps you quickly understand how recent spend trends compare to historical averages for the same time range.

Whether you're viewing the last 30 days by day, the last 90 days by week, or a full quarter by month, the Variance Report can show you which services, business units, or other dimensions of your choosing are trending higher or lower than expected.

Why it matters

This report makes it easier to:

• Spot emerging cost anomalies before they escalate
• Confirm the impact of cost optimizations
• Understand where and how spend patterns are shifting over time

You can use it to stay proactive and make faster, more informed decisions about cloud spend.
