To Change the Data on your Nominal Ledger Graph

 

1.   From the main Sage Line 50 toolbar, click Nominal.

2.   Select one or more of the nominal accounts displayed in the list box provided.

3.   From the Nominal Ledger toolbar, click Record.

The details of the first account you selected from the list box appear on the Nominal Ledger Record window.

4.   Click the Graphs tab.

The Nominal Record Graph information appears showing the monthly values of the transactions you have made to that nominal account over the year.

5.   To change the data displayed, click Options.

6.   Select the data you want to display.

If you select all three check boxes, all three sets of data will be displayed.

You can change the type of graph to an absolute comparison of one or two sets of data against one other.

Select the Compare check box, then select the data set you wish the others to be compared against, using the option buttons provided.

On the Comparison graph, the data set you selected will be shown as zero for the whole year, and the other set(s) of data will be compared against it, month by month. You will see that by using this type of graph you can quickly see the actual difference in value between the data sets. The normal graph on the other hand is more suitable for showing overall trends in your financial activity.

You can choose to display the following information:

Prior Year
