New Features

Navigate complexity with Impact Analysis

A refreshing take on a classic method for technical analysis, with this new release we bring you the ability to extend your insights even further with Impact Analysis. Impact analysis is a dynamic visualisation that explains the variance between two competing key figures of a selected parent metric, by calculating, ordering, and then clearly displaying the relative impact of any key driver contributing to said variance.

Measuring actuals against benchmarking data would be a common cross-comparison in finance, or the mining and minerals sector, where impact analysis is used to investigate key contributors to any observed deviation between the two values, both in portfolio management, and mining valuation respectively.

Feature can be found in: Concerto view Metric Header Window (only on parent)

Expand your capacity for calculation with the new Advanced Formula Builder

You can now find the Advanced Formula Builder ready for use in your models! Explore a slew of new features when assigning formulas to your metrics, including;

  • Functions:

    • IF (logical_expression , value_if_true , value_if_false)

    • POWER ( base , exponent , )

    • NPV ( discount , cashflow1, [cashflow2,…] , )

    • FLOOR ( value , )

    • LOG ( value , base , )

    • SUM ( value1 , [value2, …] , )

    • SQRT ( value , )

    • AVERAGE ( value1 , [value2, ….] , )

    • MAX ( value1 , [value2, ….] , )

    • MIN ( value1 , [value2, ….] , )

  • Color-coded SYNTAX

  • Dynamic tooltips as you type functions and metrics

  • Convenient on-hover function and definition list for reference as your write your formulas

Keep an eye on this space as we continue to expand support for more functions, and complex calculation options!

Feature can be found in: Modeller Mapping & Calculation tab > Population: 'Calculation' > Calc Type: 'Advamced Formula Builder'
