Description
⚠️ Problem
We currently have the column x_TotalSavings but that is in the default currency of the customer
🛠️ Solution
We should add this column.
x_TotalSavingsInUsd = Costs[x_ListCostInUsd] - Costs[x_EffectiveCostInUsd]
ℹ️ Additional context
This is a workaround. I think this column should be created at KQL level.

Research direction
Locate the KQL-level data model or query that defines x_TotalSavings and inspect how Costs[x_ListCostInUsd] and Costs[x_EffectiveCostInUsd] are exposed. Add the x_TotalSavingsInUsd field using the stated formula, then verify that it reports savings in USD rather than the customer's default currency.
