Account Schedules - adding headers and blank lines

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 15

In preparing our account schedules, we want to add headers and blank lines to obtain a more professional look to our financial statements.

I can do this by adding posting lines and changing Show column to 'Yes".

My dilemma is that our numbering format is set to "Accounting format, no currency".  This makes the report look more professional and adds dashes when amounts are zero to allow your eyes to follow along on a page without jarring blank gaps when items have no value.

Unfortunately, this also adds dashes to any headers and blank lines I've created because account schedule only allows you to add a formula, posting or totalling type which forces it to also generate a numeric value of 0.00.

Is there a way around that without losing the ability to place dashes in places where the values are legitimately zero?

    You're looking for the blank line as show below:

    But you want to have dashes when zero.

    I think you will need to export to Excel and format the amount column.

    Hi Kim Dallefeld

    I am not familiar with finance. Do you think the following future in upcoming version will resolve this issue?

    Or Or directly modify the formula and add conditions.
