-### Why does the aggregated cost from the exported file differ from the cost displayed in Cost Analysis?
-
-You might have discrepancies between the aggregated cost from the exported file and the cost displayed in Cost Analysis. Determine if the tool you use to read and aggregate the total cost is truncating decimal values. This issue can happen in tools like Power BI and Microsoft Excel. Determine if decimal places are getting dropped when cost values are converted into integers. Losing decimal values can result in a loss of precision and misrepresentation of the aggregated cost.
-
-To manually transform a column to a decimal number in Power BI, follow these steps:
-
-1. Go to the Table view.
-1. Select **Transform data**.
-1. Right-click the required column.
-1. Change the type to a decimal number.

 ### Export schedule
 
-Scheduled exports are affected by the time and day of week of when you initially create the export. When you create a scheduled export, the export runs at the same frequency for each export that runs later. For example, for a daily export of month-to-date costs export set at a daily frequency, the export runs during once each UTC day. Similarly for a weekly export, the export runs every week on the same UTC day as it is scheduled. Individual export runs can occur at different times throughout the day. So, avoid taking a firm dependency on the exact time of the export runs. Run timing depends on the active load present in Azure during a given UTC day. When an export run begins, your data should be available within 4 hours.

-If you've created a daily export, you have two runs per day for the first five days of each month. One run executes and creates a file with the current month’s cost data. It's the run that's available for you to see in the run history. A second run also executes to create a file with all the costs from the prior month.
