As a marketing team, we understand that it is important to keep track of your expenses. You will be able to see the difference in no time! That is why sumUp is here to help! Our Grouped Filter Results gadget makes it easy to compare your actual costs with your budget. In this example, you will learn how to use sumUp to compare last year's budget and costs per quarter.

VERSION 3.8.0 is required! 



As you can see, we have configured the gadget so that you can see the budget for each quarter and the total cost and number of issues. On the bottom of the gadget you can see the total budget for the year and the total cost and total number of issues. At the top you can see the options to select a different time period.

We switched from the configured option All-time to a customized time period to display the data for 2023.


You can tweak the date options on top of the gadget at any time without breaking your configurations.
