Adding EBIDTA data into the Dashboard

Hi everyone,

I’ve read through the available posts and templates in the community, and they have been a massive help. Thank you all!

I am trying to build an EBITDA / P&L widget that calculates the YTD balance for a Nov–Oct fiscal year.

I’ve built a Generic Inquiry (leveraging a few existing templates) that successfully pulls account data for our fiscal year (which runs Nov–Oct). However, I’ve run into a brick wall with account filtering:

The Problem: When I view the inquiry, it drops accounts that have no activity in the current period.

I tried to fix it by removing the FinPeriodID or fiscal year filter from the conditions tab. That does bring the zero-balance accounts back, but the numbers multiply or pull history from all years, inflating the totals into the tens of millions. 

Has anyone successfully tackled this balance/period filtering challenge with non-calendar fiscal years without losing zero-balance rows? Any guidance, or XML examples would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Stephanie

Could you try wrapping the finPeriodID condition in brackets, and within the brackets add another condition OR finPeriodID Is Empty.

With some major AI help I was able to make it work. Only issue (that I am fine with) is that I did have to make a parameter with the default value of 12-2025, which I will have to manually switch annually. So any suggestions for that would be great. I’m uploading my GI in case anyone else needs it :)
