Hi All

Not sure if anyone know how to define the column C below in RED BOX details

Currently , i would like to create a Balance sheet Report comparative month to month

Example: Balance Sheet Report Comparative  Sept 2021 and Aug 2021

I manage to set for Sept 2021 in column B  , however i am not sure how to set for Aug 2021 in column C , Refer to below in RED BOX highlighted

I tried the formula in  = Format( '{0: MMMM d, yyyy}',Report.GetPeriodEndDate(@StartPeriod,-1)) is not workable.

May i know who can help in this formula?

Hi @erin  The formula to show the enddate for the next period is 

=Format( '{0: MMMM d, yyyy}', Report.GetPeriodEndDate(Report.FormatPeriod(@StartPeriod, 1)))
