This template shows the split of revenue by accounts by visualising historic invoice data, and projects future revenue based on repeating invoices.

It's useful operationally to visually confirm that all revenue for the month has been invoiced, and to show what future months revenue look like based on draft and repeating invoices.

Finally, it highlights invoices that are overdue and the month they were issued in and the fully interactive nature of Microsoft Power BI means it is easy to quickly identify the invoices behind the charts and with a click go straight back to Xero to see them there.

Suggested Changes

You can easily adapt the template to show different time periods, such as Financial Quarters or weeks.

Instead of filtering on Revenue, create an Expenses forecast, or combine them to forecast P&L.

Use the Account Views feature in Connectorly to forecast groupings of sales accounts.

Breakdown actual and forecast sales by Product or Service instead of Account.
