What you'll learn

Split a variance into price, volume, FX and mix

Take a messy data export and turn it into a complete price, volume, FX and mix bridge, live in Excel with Claude

Turn the bridge into a board-ready waterfall chart.

Have Claude build a waterfall from price to volume to mix to FX, every bar summing back to the total variance.

Write board-ready commentary with the DERP framework

Use Define, Explain, Recommend, Project (DERP Framework ) to write commentary leadership can act on, not just read.

Why this topic matters

PVM analysis, the waterfall chart, and variance commentary are three of the most important skills in FP&A, and the ones leadership sees most. Here you run all three end to end with Claude in Excel: calculate every effect, chart a waterfall that ties out, then write commentary that drives a decision.
