  4. From the Add dropdown in the Usage section, choose Historical workload from my accounts.

  5. Select the time range of historical usage that you want to import.

    Note

    A maximum of 2000 usage lines that can be added to a single bill scenario.

  6. (Optional) Add up to five filters. Filters allow you to specify lines of your usage that you want to add. Filter example include cost category and services.

    Note

    For each filters, the values are based on the time period selected in the previous step.

  7. You can choose to add your usage to an existing group or a new group you create.
