5. Variance Filter

This filter allows you to display the "Location Drawer Variances Report" in filter-specific form. There are three options highlighted in Figure K in which reports can be displayed.
                                                                            Figure K
5.1. Variance Greater Than:  If this option is selected, it will take a numerical value as input to display the filter-specific report, i.e., the resultant report will display the result with a variance value greater than the entered value. See Figure L for reference. Here, the entered value for variance is $500, thus the report will display the result for variance greater than $500.
                                                                                       Figure L
5.2. Variance Less Than: If this option is selected, it will take a numerical value as input to display the filter-specific report, i.e., the resultant report will display the result with a variance value lesser than the entered value. See Figure M for reference. Here, the entered value for variance is $500, thus the report will display the result for variance lesser than $500.

                                                                                            Figure M

5.3. Variance Equal To: If this option is selected, it will take a numerical value as input to display the filter-specific report, i.e., the resultant report will display the result with a variance value equal to the entered value. See Figure N for reference. Here, the entered value for variance is $2, thus the report will display the result for variance equal to $2.
