    Key driver to understand the difference is dates. Dimensions can alter the value but it is less important here.

    Balance = total across accounting period

    Net Change = total for a date or collection of dates

    So example being if my accounting period is 01/01 to 31/12 then I see the total "Balance" for that year until I close the income statement for that period.

    Net change is therefore anything else I am analysing. So all postings between 28/03 and 06/04. Both dates are in the accounting period but I don't run my books by them.

    thanks for the answer .

    If I’m not wrong , balance means YTD ( year to date) figures . It is calculated start from the first day of my

    Current financial year till I close them .

    Net change is simply the total based on that date selection we input .
