Market: How Do I Use Discounts?

To view Discounts add a new tab to your workbook by selecting the + symbol:

Then select Discounts:

Discounts shows the percentage of products within your workbook that have a price reduction (discount) against them.

The pie chart on the left shows the percentage of products within your workbook that have been discounted. The graph on the right shows the distribution of discounted products within your workbook in customizable percentage intervals.

Each interval will include products from the lowest percentage decimal in that bracket, up to .99% before the highest value of that bracket. For example, if your intervals are set to 10%, then all products with prices between 0 and 9.99% off will fall within this bracket. Products that are 10% off will fall into the interval above, 10-20%.

The charts can be grouped by brand or retailer provided that these have been selected in the control panel. If no retailers or brands are specified, the graphs will represent the number of items at each discount interval across the whole market.  Grouping the charts by retailer shows price distribution of the brands within each retailer, whereas grouping by brand shows discount distribution of the brand between retailers. You can choose to view the data as an aggregate or split by retailer or brand. Here is an example of a chart grouped by brand:

The Inervals every dropdown will allow you to adjust the discount inervals you view in the chart. You can chose from the options or create a custom interval.

You can hover over the discount interval to see a popover of what that interval represents:
