Besides the date, schedule and name of report, there are usually four important columns in a forex calendar. These four columns are the following: Market Impact, Consensus, Previous and Actual. "Market Impact" pertains to the volatility the report causes when it is initially released. "Consensus" is what economists, experts, analysts expect the report to print. "Previous" pertains to the last reporting period's result. "Actual" is the actual result printed when the report came out.
