FOCUS column
BillingAccountName
The display name of the billing account, as the provider shows it in its own console: a human-readable label for the same entity that BillingAccountId identifies. Names can change while the identifier stays fixed, so reports group by the id and show the name.
Example
An Azure billing profile named “Contoso EMEA – Production” appears here, while its GUID appears in BillingAccountId.
Where it comes from, per export
The export column that feeds BillingAccountName in each format the platform ingests, and the transform applied. A format with no row does not carry the column; the value is then absent rather than guessed.
| Export | Source column | Transform |
|---|---|---|
| AWS Data Exports, FOCUS | BillingAccountName | as is |
| Azure Cost Management, FOCUS export | BillingAccountName | as is |
| Azure Cost Details (actual cost) | BillingAccountName | as is |
| Azure Cost Details (amortized cost) | BillingAccountName | as is |
| Google Cloud detailed billing export | Not carried | — |
How Runcost uses it
Runcost displays the name on statements and connection screens, and keys every mapping on the id so a rename never breaks allocation.
