The Analyse Profit & Loss window allows you to view detailed information about your income, cost of sales, expense, other income and other expense accounts - known collectively as your profit and loss accounts. This window, using criteria set in the Analysis Selection window (Analyse Profit & Loss), provides two different methods of viewing of your net profit and loss.
The Ledger view provides a list of your income, cost of sales, expense, other income and other expense accounts along with their corresponding amounts.
This Graph view of the Analyse Profit & Loss window displays graphs of your net profit and loss. The bars are arranged horizontally. They allow you to view profit and loss information by month. The length of a bar displays the amount of a month's profit and loss vertically.
Profit and loss information is displayed by month in the current year unless you've selected Last Year's Actuals only or This Year vs. Last Year in the Analysis Selection window.
Bars appear in pairs if you've selected Actuals vs. Budgets or This Year vs. Last Year in the Analysis Selection window. If you've selected Actuals vs. Budgets, the left bar in a pair represents an actual amount and the right bar in a pair represents a budget amount. If you've selected This Year vs. Last Year, the left bar in a pair represents an amount for a month of the current year and the right bar in a pair represents an amount for a month of the previous year.
