The problem is, the charts seem to carry on from the previous tax year. If you look at the category ‘Knitting’, the first dot for April shows it slightly above zero. When I go to the next tax year, the starting dots show the values for the end of the previous one.
I want the chart to show the increase of sales over the course of the tax year, i.e. I want the starting dots to show a value of zero. Is there any way to do this?
The report will take the values from the nominal code itself, so if at the start date of your graph you have a balance there, it will show on the graph itself.
We can consider adding an option to start it from zero at the start of the period. Would you like me to move your post to the #feature category?
Also note that sales nominals (in fact all profit and loss nominals) will reset to zero when you run the year end process. You only see this artefact on your graphs for years you have not yet closed off.
If you want the difference between sales and purchases (essentially your gross profit) then it would need to be plus, not minus, since they’re opposite sign - purchases are debit and sales are credit.
