Forecast Performance Analysis

Use the Forecast Performance Analysis to compare a Base Dataset and two Comparative Datasets to a Forecast Dataset. At a glance, you will be able to see an overview of the high-level variances between each dataset and the Forecast Dataset, by period, for three periods. There is also a summary section that displays totals for the period, for each dataset.

This report must be configured in the Report Builder prior to running for the first time.
