Like-for-like Reporting

We made a custom Like for Like report for abrdn (Attached). 'Note that this is a template report (basically a macro that was made for abrdn)'


I have screenshotted the report which pulls out Operational Status Operational Control and I think the macro works out what it's Like-for-Like status should be, so weather it should be included in the report or excluded. I'm not an expert on the detail of this so my explanation might be wrong. When I opened the document it was created by Annie and @Michael Dunbar was the last editor of this.


I understand that there are still several manual steps that abrdn need to do to get the data in the format they need to submit to INREV and EPRA


At some point we also tried to include this like-for-like analysis in the Property Manager PowerReport but I believe this report never went live. Here is a screenshot below with the buttons to toggle between absolute and Like for Like.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feature request with us. We greatly appreciate your input and your enthusiasm for enhancing our product.

    After careful consideration and discussion, we want to acknowledge that we believe your idea has significant merit and could potentially benefit our users and our platform in the future. However, at this time, we have chosen not to prioritize its implementation. I'd like to provide you with some insights into our decision-making process and the reasons behind it:

    * Lack of flexibility: A standard Like-for-Like definition may be limiting and not in line with an organization's definition. If we were to introduce a like-for-like mechanic, we'd like to see it be rule-based and flexible to modify via organization settings.

    In the interim, we have released PowerBI Desktop capability to our consultants and ExpertLabs personnel. Customers should be encouraged to seek assistance from these teams to achieve their reporting goals through PowerReport Developer.
