# Analytics

The Analytics feature gives you insight into billing data from your invoices.

It provides a read-only view of this data through interactive dashboards, charts, and tables to help you monitor spending, forecast budgets, and manage costs across your organization.

With Analytics, you can analyze and compare billing data using different dimensions. This allows you to view overall billing trends or focus on spending across agreements, subscriptions, and other key categories.

All data is read-only. Visualizations are driven by filters and update automatically when filters are applied. No data is displayed until filters are selected.

### Features

Analytics currently supports the following features:

* **Cost analysis** – Analyze billing data using interactive charts, tables, and drill-down capabilities.
* **Filtering** – Refine what data is displayed by selecting relative or custom date ranges and granularity settings.
* **Grouping** – Organize billing data by dimensions such as buyer, licensee, agreement, and subscription to analyze spending trends across different categories.
* **Export data** – Export filtered and grouped data to an Excel file for offline analysis and sharing.
* **Currency display** – View billing data in multiple currencies using daily updated exchange rates.

### Using Analytics

To open analytics, go to **Billing** > **Analytics** from the main menu. To load data, apply filters. 

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/VbJmqdkQjSUC4fXbzHs1" alt=""><figcaption><p>Use Analytics to visualize your billing data.</p></figcaption></figure></div>

The filter bar is located on the left side of the page, and it defines what data is displayed. Once filters are applied, the page updates automatically.

The Analytics page includes a chart that displays billed charges over time. The table below the chart provides a structured view of billing data. Table columns adjust automatically based on the selected granularity, and include a total column for summary values and quick reference.

When data is grouped, the chart shows the top 10 entities based on the selected grouping. All remaining entities are combined under a single category called **Others**.

### Currency display

Billing amounts are shown in your standard billing currency.&#x20;

You can select a different currency using the **Currency** filter in the sidebar. When you choose a new currency, the platform automatically applies the relevant exchange rates and converts all billing data.

When a conversion is applied, a note appears at the bottom of the data table indicating that an exchange rate was used, for example: An exchange rate was applied for the selected currency.
