My financial year starts 1 March, so March = Period 01.

I built a 12-month rolling Trial Balance using ARM based on a Start Period/Financial Period parameter.

Requirement:

  • P&L accounts: show Turnover (period activity only)
  • Balance Sheet accounts: show Ending Balance (cumulative)

The monthly columns work correctly.

However, the issue is with the YTD column:

For P&L accounts, even if I set the column to Ending Balance, the YTD column shows only the previous month’s amount instead of the cumulative total.

Example:
Jan = 500
Feb = 600

Expected YTD = 1100
But the report shows 500.

Has anyone configured a rolling ARM trial balance like this, especially with a financial year starting in March, P&L Accounts should show Turn Over and Balance sheet Accounts Should show ending balance. How did you handle the YTD column for P&L accounts? I have attached my XML File for quick reference

Hello,

Does it help to change Cell Evaluation Order from Row to Column, on the Ending Balance Column?

You can not use  column for GL type, and if I change it to a calc type, it won't work. I want the YTD from the GL for the selected period
