Custom Report - Starting point is cumulative not reset with journals

I have created a custom report with sales minus costs associated with that area of the business.

I set the dates to be a specific financial year.

When I preview the report on the graph, the first day of the financial year starts at a “cumulative” value for each account over all time and seems to ignore the year end journals that reset the account balance to 0.

Is there a way of starting this at 0 so that I can get an accurate impression of profit year on year?

That is something I’ve created too and would like like to be able to modify.

Hi @dombrown @Gollingsm

If I’ve understood correctly the figures are cumulative rather than specifically for a period (e.g. a month or week).

This is down to the way the nominals work, in that they increase over time.

However, if you use a bar chart format rather than a line chart, this will split it out so you see just the figures for that month.
