Shows a metadata-driven approach that turns a chart of accounts into formatted P&L and balance sheet layouts using a many-to-many bridge table (built in Power Query or T‑SQL) and a soft‑coded statement spreadsheet; delivers interactive drillthrough and versioning, exposes PBIX on GitHub for reverse engineering, and uses calculation groups and field parameters for row formats and dynamic columns. Claims enterprise reports render in ~40 ms rendering; some KPI/variant logic lives in DAX so pre‑calculation is recommended for performance.
