Summarise relevant numeric fields such as revenue, cost, margin, spend or another financial measure present in the file.

WHAT YOU CAN ANSWER
Move from spreadsheet rows to useful business questions.
Financial datasets often arrive as recurring extracts or operational spreadsheets. Data Studio can help structure the first-pass analysis so you can identify where deeper investigation is needed.
Compare departments, categories, accounts, suppliers or other categorical dimensions.
Use time trends or dataset comparison to understand movement between periods or file versions.
Use Scenario Analysis to test how changes in a selected input can affect a target metric.
EXAMPLE DATA
Use the Excel or CSV files you already have.
Data Studio works from structured tabular data. A typical file for this workflow might contain fields such as:
✓ Date / period✓ Account / category✓ Department / cost centre✓ Revenue✓ Cost / spend✓ Budget / actual measure
WORKFLOW
From upload to decision-ready output.
Use the same underlying data across profiling, visual analysis and reporting rather than rebuilding the analysis in separate tools.
Detect numeric measures, categories, dates and data quality conditions in the uploaded file.
Use KPI cards, rankings, distributions and category breakdowns to identify concentration and movement.
Compare two files, run statistics or use scenario analysis when the business question requires it.
Create a professional analysis report with context, visuals and recommendations.
OUTPUTS
What Data Studio can produce.
The exact output adapts to the fields available in your dataset, so the workspace prioritises useful analysis instead of forcing empty charts.
