Financial values presentation

C-Suite ensures consistent, readable, and performance-driven data presentation across all components.

Negative values

You can configure the system to render negative values based on your preferences. The values can be displayed in these options:

  • With minus
  • With parentheses

You can configure the settings in the Financial Reporting application by selecting Configuration > User Report Setting. The settings are applied globally across Financial Reporting and C-Suite.

The settings are user-specific and the last user settings are remembered.

Percentage and ratios

Percentages and ratios are displayed in their original form.

For percentage and ratio-based metrics, only Δ% values and related charts are displayed. The Δ is excluded.

Sorting and ranking operations are performed with Δ% values instead of Δ.

Color coding

Color coding helps interpret performance trends.

Colors are derived from the OLAP property GrowthImpact.

Green and red colors apply to these elements:

  • Difference (Δ) and % Difference (Δ%) columns in the tables
  • Charts

A green color indicates a favorable trend. A red color indicates an unfavorable trend.

A gray color is reserved for metrics with a neutral growth impact and applies only to charts. Fonts are not gray color-coded.

If Δ and Δ % equal zero, the fonts in the tables are not color-coded.

Display sign

Depending on the configuration, metrics linked to accounts or account mappings are displayed as either positive or negative values across the Financial Reporting application and all C-Suite components.

For accounts, you can define the display sign settings at the account type level in Financial Reporting when you select Configuration > Global Sign Definition.

For calculated metrics and metrics that refer to account group mappings, the display sign is already included in the aggregation or calculation, and you cannot change it.

Scaling and decimal settings

The Metrics Overview table automatically adjusts scaling and decimal settings based on the value size to ensure large numbers are easy to read and consistent across widgets and reports.

Scaling is applied individually per row based on the magnitude of the value in the Reporting Period field. Therefore, the metric is scaled independently to ensure clarity.

By default, only one decimal place is displayed.

Example:

  • A 1,550,000 value is displayed as 1.6M
  • A 17,549 value is displayed as 17.5K
  • A 7,619,168,546 value is displayed as 7.6B
Note: These abbreviations are used for scaling and decimal settings:
  • K = Thousands
  • M = Millions
  • B = Billions

No scaling is applied to percentages, ratios, and zero values.

The scaling logic is consistent across all C-Suite components.

You can override the scaling settings in the Top & Bottom Analysis and Trend & Projection reports.

In the Metrics Overview report, scaling is inherited from the dashboard, and you cannot edit it.
