## Review invoiced charges in Cost analysis

To view your invoice details in the Azure portal, navigate to Cost analysis for the scope associated with the invoice that you're analyzing. Select the **Invoice details** view. Invoice details show you the charges as seen on the invoice.

Viewing invoice details, you can identify the service that has unexpected costs and determine which resources are directly associated with the resource in Cost analysis. For example, if you want to analyze charges for the Virtual Machines service, navigate to the **Accumulated cost** view. Then, set the granularity to **Daily** and filter charges **Service name: Virtual machines** and group charges by **Resource**.

### Identify spikes in cost over time
192203

193204
Sometimes you might not know what recent costs resulted in changes to your billed charges. To understand what changed, you can use Cost analysis to [see a daily or monthly breakdown of costs over time](../costs/cost-analysis-common-uses.md#view-costs-per-day-or-by-month). After you create the view, group your charges by either **Service** or **Resource** to identify the changes. You can also change your view to a **Line** chart to better visualize the data.
