What is a PlanGuru Company folder?

A Company is a collection of related forecast workbooks, stored in a common folder. Within the “Sample Consolidation Company” company folder shown below we have four files that all share the same company folder.

 

What purpose does the Company folder serve?

Budget/Forecast analyses must be located in the same Company folder to be consolidated; this applies to customers who plan to set up and combine multiple operating units.  The Company folder also helps you organize similar analyses.  

 

Open the sample Analysis:

Select the “Forecast with Account Numbers” analysis from the provided Sample Advanced Non-Financial Data and click the OK button.
