Gross Margin Report

Bullhorn Support is able to assist with navigating sample reports, but they are unable to build customizations on reports for you. If you need customizations, you will need a Business Intelligence specialist who is familiar with writing database queries.

The Gross Margin report provides gross margin details for placements by the client for a specified date range of hours worked and/or a period end date range.

Running the Report

  1. From your Bullhorn Menu, select Canvas.

  2. Select Run beside the Gross Margin Report.

  3. Fill out the following criteria:

    • Date Range for Hours Worked: The date range you want to run the report for.

    • Period End Date Range (optional):Additional date criteria to narrow down your report.

    • Client Corporation (optional): Search for the Client's Corp and use the Insert button to add it to the reporting criteria.

    • Bill-to Client (optional): Search for the Bill-to Client and use the Insert button to add it to the reporting criteria.

    • Burden (percent): The burden as a percentage. For more information on burdens, see Terminology Alignment: Gross Profit and Gross Margin.

  4. Select Finish.

Exporting to Excel

Depending on the amount of data, it may be easier to view the report via Excel. Follow these steps to export your report to Excel:

  1. From the HTML drop down button in the top right corner, click View in Excel Options > View in Excel 2007 Format.

    The Excel format you choose can be based on personal preference. We recommend using View in Excel 2007 Format to maintain the same format that you see in Bullhorn Reporting (Canvas) and/or if you plan to use standard Excel functions (pivot, sort, etc).

  2. The request will process and a pop up stating "Your report is ready and will download to your Web browser in a few moments" will appear.

  3. When prompted, Save the report to your computer.

Once the report is exported to Excel, you can utilize standard Excel functions to filter, sort and pivot the data.
