Analyze Sales Performance

The Analyze Sales Performance page showcases the analysis of sales performance in terms of quantitative insights like totals, minimums, maximums and outliers, and in terms of variance over time or variance between target and actual values.

	Descriptive Statistics Generates a summary of quantitative insights derived from your measures and dimensions, describing where statistically interesting breakdowns appear.	Time-Based Variance Analyzes the variance in performance of a measure between two time periods, such as current quarter vs. the same quarter of the previous year.	Target-Based Variance Analyzes the variance between the target value and the actual value of a measure, drilling down through multiple dimensions to build the narrative.

Analyze Trends/Ranking

The Analyze Trends/Ranking page showcases our latest ready-to-use intelligent narratives. These NLG Apps analyze measures over time in terms of trends and the ranking of dimensions such as Market, Product and Country.

	Trend Analysis Analyzes the changes in a measure over time, highlighting significant trends and drilling down through a number of dimensions to build the narrative.	Ranking Analysis Summarizes the top and bottom rankings of combinations of dimensions over time, highlighting changes in rank.

Analyze Anomalies/Correlations

The Analyze Anomalies/Correlations page showcases our latest ready-to-use intelligent narratives, which help you understand the anomalies and correlations in your data.

	Anomalies Detects, highlights, and contextualizes anomalies in a dataset, drilling down through multiple dimensions to build the narrative.	Correlations Detects and highlights correlations between series of data points, drilling down through multiple dimensions to build the narrative.

Describe Charts

The Describe Charts page showcases three narrative apps that interpret and bring more meaning to pie, bar, and line charts.

	Describe a Pie Chart Describes a pie chart and highlights statistically relevant insights from the underlying data to explain the chart in more detail.	Describe a Bar Chart Describes a bar chart and highlights statistically relevant insights from the underlying data to explain the chart in more detail.

Created using Arria NLG Studio and configured using Arria for Power BI's Custom Narratives feature, the narrative on this page complements the visuals with a month-on-month sales variance analysis, identifying key insights, and the main drivers and offsets.

This page of the report demonstrates how you can give more control to your dashboard viewers and how you can save precious real estate on your dashboard using the add-in with Power BI bookmarks.

Arria for Power BI Parameter Controls

Parameter Controls Using the Parameter Controls feature, dashboard viewers can dynamically vary the narrative according to the values they select.	Bookmarks Power BI Bookmarks let you save views and settings in your reports. The Arria for Power BI add-in applies this feature to allow users to build multi-narrative reports.
In our showcase report, the following parameters are available: Analyze by: enables viewers to analyze the sales data by Product, Country, or Market. Threshold %: enables viewers to report on only those drivers and offsets with a value above the selected threshold percentage.	Harness Arria's power to aggregate and narrate your entire dataset by embedding multiple narratives in your reports without reducing the space available for your visuals. At the top of the Arria visual, use the Sales, COGS, and Profit buttons to switch between these narratives.
