Greetings, fellow data analysts!

Pi, the mathematical constant representing the ratio of any circle’s circumference to its diameter, has fascinated mathematicians for centuries. In their attempts to approximately identify its exact value, they have produced a wide range of algorithms and traced the number to over a trillion decimal places (not to forget the “3” before the decimal point).

"It’s absolutely useless – but an incredible feeling!" explains Professor Albrecht Beutelspacher from the Institute for Mathematics at the University of Giessen, Germany.

This type of sentimentalism, however, has no place in management reporting. Digits alone don’t lend insight even in theory. Instead, they get in the way of understanding important relationships.

In this edition of clicks!, we will explain how you can tame the numbers in your DeltaMaster reports and format them accordingly.

Best regards,
