Let's Get Started

Scenario: Product data has been seeded from 2 years of historical monthly spend data. January of 2016 was an anomaly that skewed our projected spend for IT and Equipment in 2017. There was a huge one time purchase of laptops for the sales force, rendering planned spend for January of 2017 incorrect. Your manager has requested adjustments to correct the spend plan.

Setup Assumptions: You’ve installed the add-ins for Excel and loaded a provided worksheet from your manager.

Objective: Using the Smart View Excel Add-in and "what if" scenarios, adjust the January projection down from 84% and $477,000 to 400k.
