Hello Nav Experts, How to handle subtraction on Account Schedule when the result of the calculation become positive? For example: G/L Acct. Actual(A) Budget(B) Variance (B – A) 12345 -332.08 300 -32.08 Because Variance was formulated as B-A, the value showing on my Account Schedule is 632.08 → 300-(-332.08); not -32.08. Thank you for your helps. ZB ---

I don’t quite catch your idea - but maybe Analysis by Dimensions / Analysis Views fits better for your needs? There are several options what to show: Actual, Budget, Variance, Variance %… Take a look at these. And, Budget numbers must mach by sign, if normally G/L account’s balance is negative (means Credit Saldo, as in Income accounts), then Budgeted Amt should be negative, too.
