 Azure Cost Management users often want answers to questions that many others ask. This article walks you through getting results for common cost analysis tasks in Cost Management.
 
+## View forecasted costs
+
+Forecasted costs are shown in cost analysis areas for area and stacked column views. The forecast is based on your historical resource use. Changes to your resource use affect forecasted costs.
+
+In the Azure portal, navigate to cost analysis for your scope. For example: **Cost Management + Billing** > **Cost Management** > **Cost analysis**.
+
+In the default view, the top chart has the Actual/Amortized cost and forecasted cost sections. The solid color of the chart shows your Actual/Amortized cost. The shaded color shows the forecast cost.

+
+## View forecasted costs grouped by service
+
+The default view doesn't show forecasted costs group by a service, so you have to add a group by selection.
+
+In the Azure portal, navigate to cost analysis for your scope. For example: **Cost Management + Billing** > **Cost Management** > **Cost analysis**.
+
+Select **Group by** > **Service name**.
+
+The view shows your costs grouped for each service. The forecasted cost isn't calculated for each service. It's projected for the **Total** of all your services.
+
+[![Grouped forecasted cost](./media/cost-analysis-common-uses/forecast-group-by-service.png)](./media/cost-analysis-common-uses/forecast-group-by-service.png#lightbox)
+
+## View forecasted costs for a service
+
+You can view forecasted costs narrowed to a single service. For example, you might want to see forecasted costs for just virtual machines.
+
+1. In the Azure portal, navigate to cost analysis for your scope. For example: **Cost Management + Billing** > **Cost Management** > **Cost analysis**.
+1. Select **Add filter** and then select **Service name**.
+1. In the **choose** list, select a service. For example select, **virtual machines**.
+
+Review the actual cost for selection and the forecasted cost.
+
+You can add more customizations to the view.
+
+1. Add a second filter for **Meter** and select a value to filter for an individual type of meter under your selected service name.
+1. Group by **Resource** to see the specific resources that are accruing cost. The forecasted cost isn't calculated for each service. It's projected for the **Total** of all your resources.

+
+## View your Azure and AWS costs together  
+
+To view Azure and AWS costs together, you use management group scopes in Azure.
+
+1. Create a management group or select an existing one.
+1. Assign the existing Azure subscriptions that you need to the management group.
+1. Assign the *same* management group to the linked account of the connector.
+1. Go to cost analysis and select **Accumulated costs**.
+1. Select **Group by** - **Provider**.

 ## View cost breakdown by Azure service
 
 Viewing costs by an Azure service can help you to better understand the parts of your infrastructure that cost the most. For example, VM compute costs might be small. Yet you might accrue significant networking costs because of the amount of information emitting from the VMs. Understanding the primary cost drivers of your Azure services is essential so that you can adjust service usage, as needed.

 ## View cost breakdown by Azure resource
 
 Your services are built with Azure resources. Reviewing costs based on resources can help you quickly identify your primary cost contributors. If a service has resources that are too expensive, consider making changes to reduce your costs.

 ## Costs in budget evaluations
 
 Budget cost evaluations now include reserved instance and purchase data. If the charges apply to you, then you might receive alerts as charges are incorporated into your evaluations. We recommend that you sign in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com) to verify that budget thresholds are properly configured to account for the new costs. Your Azure billed charges aren't changed. Budgets now evaluate against a more complete set of your costs. If the charges don't apply to you, then your budget behavior remains unchanged.

 Budget cost evaluations are based on actual cost. They don't include amortization. For more information about filtering options available to you in budgets, see [Understanding grouping and filtering options](quick-acm-cost-analysis.md#understanding-grouping-and-filtering-options).

 ## Trigger an action group
 
 When you create or edit a budget for a subscription or resource group scope, you can configure it to call an action group. The action group can perform various actions when your budget threshold is met. Action Groups are currently only supported for subscription and resource group scopes. For more information about Action Groups, see [Create and manage action groups in the Azure portal](../../azure-monitor/platform/action-groups.md). For more information about using budget-based automation with action groups, see [Manage costs with Azure budgets](../manage/cost-management-budget-scenario.md).
