View a budget in reports

To better understand a budget's progress, you can open it in a Cloud Analytics report. The report uses the budget's scope and time range so you can investigate spending details without reconfiguring the report.

1. Select Policy and governance from the top navigation mega menu, and then select Budgets.

2. Locate the budget of interest, select the kebab menu (⋮) at the rightmost end of the budget entry, and then select View in reports.

   The report opens with the following budget settings applied:

   • Scope: The budget's dimension filters, such as billing account, service, or attribution.

   • Time range: For a fixed budget, the budget's start and end dates. For a recurring budget, the current period plus earlier periods of the same interval (for example, the last 6 months for a monthly budget).

   

   If you save the report or share it, these settings are preserved when you reopen it.
