Standardized reporting date

Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability icon. Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability

The Reporting date field in Microsoft Sustainability Manager standardizes the date across different carbon, water, waste, and circularity data sources to provide streamlined reporting and analysis. This field is derived from existing data points, such as transaction dates, consumption start dates, and consumption end dates. With this field, you can efficiently query and align data for Power BI reporting, preparation reports, scorecards, goals, and other platform components, ensuring data consistency and enabling effective analysis across all relevant categories within the system.

These tables show which dates map to the Reporting date field in reports and analysis.
