    Find the newest CSV or spreadsheet file in the Finance folder of the drive. Compare the most recent month with the previous month by product line and by cost category. Report revenue, cost and gross margin for both months, the change in each, and which lines explain most of the change. Show the intermediate table you computed from. Flag any margin that moved more than 2 percentage points. If a saved chart of margin by month exists on the Finance dashboard, update it; otherwise create one.
