As of FinOps toolkit 0.2, the FOCUS report was merged into the Cost summary report. Both Cost summary and Commitment discounts now use FOCUS 1.0 preview. If you would like to use the FOCUS report, you can download it from the FinOps toolkit 0.1.1 release.
The FOCUS report is an example Azure dataset that aligns to the FinOps Open Cost and Usage Specification (FOCUS), an open specification that provides a common schema for cost and usage data. To learn more, see focus.finops.org.
You can download the FOCUS report from the FinOps toolkit 0.1.1 release.
Working with this report
This report includes the following filters on each page:
- Date range
- Sub account (subscription)
- Service category
- Service name
- Region

A few common KPIs you fill find in this report are:
- Amortized cost shows the effective cost for the period with commitment-based discount purchases amortized across the commitment term.
- Billed cost shows the billed cost as it would appear on your invoice.
Note the currency must be single-select to ensure costs in different currencies aren’t mixed.
Get started
The Get started page includes a basic introduction to the report with additional links to learn more.
Raw data
The Raw data page includes a table with all FOCUS columns (except the IDs to conserve space). This page is useful to familiarize yourself with the columns themselves.
Services
The Services page offers a breakdown of cost by service. Each service is grouped into a service category, which is similar to how service are organized on the Azure.com website.
The FOCUS ServiceName column is not the same thing as MeterCategory or the ServiceName column for Enterprise Agreement accounts. FOCUS ServiceName is a grouping of resources in each category. This means bandwidth charges for a VM will be grouped under the Compute service category rather than the Network meter category. This distinction is very important when comparing numbers between FOCUS and Azure schemas.
Sub accounts
The Sub accounts page includes a breakdown of cost by sub account (subscription).
Resources
The Resources page includes a breakdown of cost by resource.
