Modifications to default scaling logic are not allowed in the Metrics Overview report

Cause

The scaling logic in the Metrics Overview report is inherited from C-Suite. The scaling logic is automatically applied based on the magnitude of each metric value. Scaling is applied individually to each row. That is, metrics, such as Revenue and Operating Profit, are scaled independently to enhance readability. This ensures that users view metrics in a standardized and clear format, which minimizes potential confusion that can be caused by inconsistent scaling across reports.

Solution

You can not change or override the scaling behavior in the Metrics Overview report.

Cause

The Actual Budget lollipop chart compares the reporting version with the selected comparison version.

Actual values are not visible in the Trend & Projection chart

Cause

Actual values are displayed up to the reporting period. If you select only periods that are after the reporting period, you can view only the forecast values.
