Key Concepts: Trend is a feature of SAP EPM-BPC Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) that allows users to compare actual performance to planned performance. It allows users to identify trends in their data and make informed decisions about their business. The trend feature can be used to compare different periods of time, such as year-over-year or quarter-over-quarter. How to use it: To use the trend feature in SAP EPM-BPC, users must first create a report that contains the data they want to compare. Once the report is created, users can select the “trend” option from the report menu. This will open a window where users can select the time periods they want to compare. Once the time periods are selected, the report will display a graph that shows the trend of the data over time. Tips & Tricks: When using the trend feature in SAP EPM-BPC, it is important to remember that the data being compared must be in the same format. For example, if one period is in months and another period is in quarters, then the data must be converted into a common format before it can be compared. Additionally, it is important to remember that trends are only as accurate as the data being compared.
