This section will show you the analytics on Projects which are Complete and Archived.

A summary table of the Total number of Historical projects, On time delivery rate, Avg duration, Quoted margin, Actual margin and Gross profit.

Metrics	Calculations
Total	Total count of projects that are Complete and Archived (not active)
On time delivery rate	% of projects completed before the estimated completion date
Avg duration	The mean durations between actual start and actual completion dates.
Quoted margin	`100.0` * `(quoted sell - quoted cost)` / `Absolute(quoted sell)`
Actual Margin	`100.0` * `(net invoiced - actual cost)` / `Absolute(net invoiced)`
Gross profit	`Cash position` on all project related tasks

Financial Summary

Current Financials

This graph visualises your cash position over the chosen 6 or 12-month period using stacked bars.

For a deeper look into the months, hover over a bar and a popover will appear showing a snapshot of the financial accounts, categorised by revenue (Invoice.types) and Product.types (labour, material etc) for that period.

Note: Invoice revenue is from invoices raised from the project screen

Metrics	Calculations
Invoice Revenue	`Invoiced` + `Received` Cumulative value of all invoices that have been authorised
Unpaid invoices	`Invoiced` Outstanding authorised invoices that haven't been settled via being paid or credited
Unpaid costs	`Actual cost` that have been incurred from project tasks, but haven't been paid.
Cash position	`Received` - `Paid cost`
Gross profit	`actual_profit` == `actual_sell` - `actual_cost` == `(Invoiced + Received) - (Incurred + Paid Cost)`
Total costs	Cumulative `Paid cost` for that month
Total revenue	`Received` invoices

Cost Breakdown

The Cost breakdown chart visualised your Paid cost for the filtered period and is designed to give you an indication of your expenses for each of the Product.types.

Metrics	Calculations
Total project count	Sum of all active projects. Excluding statuses canceled and complete
Project count by status	Total count of projects in that status.
Remaining balance (aggregated)	Sum of all remaining claimable value by status
Remaining balance by status	(`invoiced` + `Received`) - `Quoted sell` by status (on hold, ready, in progress
