-Costs are shown in your billing currency by default. If you have charges in multiple currencies, costs are automatically converted to USD. If you have any non-USD charges, you can switch between currencies in the total KPI menu. You might see options like **GBP only** to view only the charges in that one currency or **All costs in USD** to view the normalized costs in USD. You can't view costs normalized to other currencies today.
+Costs are shown in your billing currency by default. If you have charges in multiple currencies, costs are automatically converted to USD. If you have any non-USD charges, you can switch between currencies in the total KPI menu. You might see options like **GBP only** to view only the charges in that one currency, or **All costs in USD** to view the normalized costs across all currencies in USD. The **All costs in USD** option aggregates and converts all charges—regardless of their original currency—into USD for a unified view. In contrast, selecting a specific currency like **USD only** will show only the charges originally billed in USD. You can't view costs normalized to other currencies today.
+Note that filtering to a specific currency may impact the available options in the **Group by** and **Filter by** dropdowns. Only services or attributes relevant to the selected currency will be shown. For example, if you don’t have any storage costs billed in CAD, **Storage** will not appear as a filter option when viewing CAD-only charges filtered by service.

 Enterprise Agreement (EA), also called enrollments, has the following billing scopes:
 
-[**Billing account**](../manage/view-all-accounts.md) - Represents an EA enrollment and is the scope at which invoices are generated. All purchase and usage charges are visible in this scope in both the Actual and Amortized Cost datasets, with some important distinctions.

-The Actual Cost dataset includes all meter-emitted usage charges from Azure, Marketplace and Microsoft 365 offers. It also includes purchases from Marketplace and Microsoft 365, as well as commitment-based benefits (reservations and savings plans). The benefit offsets the charges, so usage records covered by a commitment appear with zero costs.  
-
-The Amortized Cost data set, also includes all usage records, Marketplace and Microsoft 365 purchases. However, the commitment-based purchases do not appear directly because their costs are amortized and applied to the usage where the benefit is consumed. As a result, the same usage that appears with zero costs in Actual Cost, shows charges in the Amortized Cost dataset. The Amortized Cost data set doesn't match your invoice, since it reflects amortized allocations rather than billed amounts.
