Adding a kWh target data field, and a variance to target (for all types) data field to PowerReports,

Envizi enables kWh targets to be created for all accounts, but in PowerReports, only Native Units and Energy (GJ) targets are available as data fields. Without a kWh target field, comparisons of energy usage to created kWh targets is not possible.

In addition to creating a kWh target field, there is currently no variance to target field (such as one for Energy usage) available. Reporting on the variance to a target is a key requirement. The KPI visual has a variance built in, but when multiple performance vs target results are required, the ability to populate a table per account is needed, rather than multiple visuals displaying the variance of 1 account/group.

    This is something that will be considered for the next Dataset update.

    I agree that visualisations of variance to target field and/or of progress towards a target are lacking in the platform, it would be great to have these more naturally and more frequently visible across PowerReports.
