Chart Format

By default, the Element of Cost Breakdown chart is a stacked bar chart. This chart is almost identical to the Element of Cost chart on the Detail Analysis tab of wInsight Analytics – Single-Project, but this one does not display the cost variance line and supports an unlimited number of elements of cost. Use the Fast Change icon () to switch to a straight table that displays the actual data values. You can also view the table in Excel by clicking .

Chart Item Description
Horizontal axis The horizontal axis displays the range of periods.
Vertical axis The vertical axis displays the range of cost variance amounts for the selected elements.
Bars Each bar represents the cumulative/current cost variance or schedule variance as of that period for the selected elements.

Each segment of the bar represents the portion of the total cost variance or schedule variance for one of the elements of cost.

Chart Data

The Element of Cost Breakdown chart displays the following data for each period:

Data Item Description
Element of cost amount Amount that each element of cost contributed to the total cumulative/current cost variance or schedule variance for the indicated period.

To see the data for each element of cost unit, position the mouse pointer on a corresponding segment on the bar chart. The period, EOC name, and cumulative/current cost or schedule variance amount display in a data box. If the segment for an element of cost is too thin to display the amount automatically, maximize the chart and position the mouse pointer on that segment of the bar.
