I am setting a P&L that shows month over prior month.  I would like to add a column that shows the amount variance and % variance.  What is the syntax needed in the calculation formula to do the math to subtract one column from another?

Hello,

This example is from Acumatica’s pre-defined Column Set:

(B - C) is column subtraction, Current year minus Last Year (your question)

(B - C)/B is the Change presented as  Percent change over last year.

Thank you!  I had tried that but it looks like I missed changing the Type at the top from GL to Calc  and that was in fact causing it to not work.
