Excel add-in
Your workbook shows the gap. Datama explains why.
Install Datama Compare in Excel and turn any budget vs actual, forecast vs real or YoY comparison into a ranked list of key factors, mix, price, volume and rate effects, in a waterfall your CFO already knows how to read. Change a filter or refresh your data, the waterfall updates instantly.
Works with your existing ranges and pivot-style data. No ETL, no export to another tool.

How it works
From your workbook to insight in three steps
Install the add-in from AppSource
Add Datama Compare from Microsoft AppSource or Excel Home → Add-ins. IT-friendly, no separate data pipeline, no gateway to configure.
Select your KPI range
Point the pane at the range you already use for monthly close: main KPI, comparison dimension (budget vs actual, N vs N-1), steps and explanation dimensions.
Read the waterfall: and the story behind it
Datama computes the decomposition and renders the waterfall, smart comment and ranked drivers in the side panel. Change a filter in your sheet, refresh applies.

Why teams pick it
Built for controllers, trusted by finance teams
Native to Excel
A real Office add-in in the task pane. Your workbook stays the source of truth, no copy-paste into a BI tool, no parallel model to maintain.
Budget variance, out of the box
Compare actual vs budget, forecast vs real or period over period on the same aggregated range. Ideal for monthly close, management reporting and board packs.
Key factors, ranked
Interest scoring surfaces the segments that actually explain the move, entity, product line, channel, region, so you focus on what matters before the meeting.
Deterministic math
The market equation splits a variation into independent drivers: mix, price, volume and rate effects. Same data, same answer, every time. A platform of trust, not a black box.
Comments your Comex can read
Intelligent comments summarise the waterfall in plain language and stay in sync as you drill or split by dimension. Board-ready output without rebuilding slides by hand.
No data stored
Computation runs on the fly from the range you select. Datama does not warehouse your figures, important when spreadsheets hold sensitive financial data.
Datama allows us to easily and reliably explain our performance against budget, by displaying only the most significant contributing factors.
