Variance Ledger

What happens when your data replaces the sample

What Variance Ledger does when the data is longer, shorter or emptier than the sample:

Fixed page furniture Never grows, never moves

the foot rule carrying the preparer, the basis of preparation and the folio (fixed height — nothing in it may grow)

Repeats per record One block per row of your data

revenue lines; cost lines; assumption notes; each group carries its own subtotal

Grows with your data Absorbs long values without breaking

the standfirst under the title; every assumption note; any line description that wraps

Pinned to every page Holds position across page breaks

the foot rule sits at the page bottom on every page

Order on the page What sits after what

the summary figures after the title, the ledger after them, assumptions after the ledger

Page breaks What may split, what must not

the ledger may split across pages between groups and between rows; a group's subtotal must not separate from its last row

Last page How the document ends

the assumptions and the net line may occupy the final page alone; the foot rule carries it
