Introduction

The Variance Threshold parameter is used to store threshold values. Variance Threshold can be represented in several formats, depending on the type of threshold values. This option is available for the following report templates:

Variance Threshold Formats

You can specify the threshold format in the following ways:

  1. In absolute values “-5;5”
  2. In percentage values “-9%;9%”
  3. The option to To use both absolute and percentage variances When using both percentage and absolute (When doing so there is the option to use 'And' or 'Or')
  4. As a combination of absolute and percentage values with one of the values missing “-9%;9%,5” or “-9%,-5;9%” or “-5;9%,5”. If the value is missing then it is treated as 0
  5. The user can specify decimal Decimal values like “-9.9%, -5.5;9.9%,5.5”
  6. If the percentage examined variance is less than lower percentage threshold value or the absolute examined variance is less than lower absolute threshold value, then it is treated as negative. Otherwise the variance is treated as neutral. If the valuation of the item is Negative, then it will be treated as positive.
  7. If the percentage examined variance is greater than upper percentage threshold value or the absolute examined variance is greater than upper absolute threshold value then it is treated as positive. Otherwise the variance is treated as neutral. If the valuation of the item is Negative, then it will be treated as negative.

Suppress Variance Settings

There are different options to suppress the variance:

OptionResult


NeverVariance is not suppressed
AlwaysVariance is always suppressed

Zero Base

Variance is suppressed when the base is zero
No BaseVariance is suppressed when there is no base in it
Zero RefVariance is suppressed when the reference is zero
No RefVariance is suppressed when there is no reference in it
ZerosVariance is suppressed when the result is zero

Examples

The examples below represent the same report with different threshold formats applied.

Example 1: Variance Threshold in absolute values “-50005;5000”5”

Example 2: Variance Threshold in percentage values “-9%;9%”

Example 3: Variance Threshold as combination of absolute and percentage values with the OR function “-9%;9%,-50005;5000”5

When the variance calculation is outside the ranges of -9% - 9% or -5000 5 - 5000   5 it should be Negative or Positive otherwise it is Neutral.

Example 4: Variance Threshold as combination of absolute and percentage values with the AND function “-9%;9%,-50005;5000”5”

When the variance calculation is outside the ranges of -9% - 9% and -5000 5 - 5000   5 it should be Negative or Positive otherwise it is Neutral.
