Hi everyone! I'm Priya, Head of FP&A at Nexa Retail Group. We're a mid-size retail business with about 300 stores across South Asia. We've been running annual budgets in Excel for a decade and recently started our Fabric Plan pilot. The thing that excites me most is not having to export to a staging spreadsheet just to do variance analysis — everything stays in one place. Happy to be here!

Welcome Priya! I'm also from a finance background (budget analyst at a bank). The Excel to Fabric Plan journey is very relatable. The learning curve on the semantic model connection is a bit steep but absolutely worth it.

Welcome! Retail planning with seasonal peaks is a great use case for the rolling forecast features. Would love to see a Show & Tell post from you once you're up and running.
