Financial Models
Hi
I created actual financial statements with Power BI. How I did that is as follows:
Step 1 : Extract trial balance on GL code level
Step 2 : Create another excel file for mapping of these GL codes. Codes will be in first column (say column A). Againts each code, you can write if it is Cost of Sales, operating Expense or Non-Operating Expense. You should create multiple levels for each GL code, meaning in first column (say column B) against code lD write cost description (Manpower, Repair & Maintenance etc.) and in second column (say column C) mention its classification as Cost of Sales or operating Expense.
Step 3: Add both files to Power BI.
Step 4 : Create relationship between Mapping file (column A containing GL code) and Trial Balance respective column that contains GL code. You wil see two files in Power BI, i.e. GL and mapping file.
Step 5 : Drag Column C (containing mapping of Operating Cost) and amount column from Trial Balance source file.
Thats it. you will get summary of Operating Cost. In case you need more help, please let me know. You can send me your sample file and I can do it for you.
Cheers
Hi Waseem. Were you able to compute TOTAL OPERATING PROFIT? Would you mind sending me a dummy version of your BI model? I'd appreciate.
