Using Edit with Copilot and Plan mode\, you build a variance-versus-budget analysis that flags the regions past a threshold\, a year-over-year trend and a what-if scenario\, with charts. You run built-in skills\, turn the monthly variance review into a custom skill of your own\, and run it on the next month’s data. You check every number before it goes into the executive summary.
