Financial Reports: Perform Column Calculations before Rows

Posted on by 4
Hello,
 
I would like to know if there is a way to perform column calculations before row calculations in Business Central. I know it was possible to do in D365 FinOps (Report Designer) - but I can't seem to work out how it's possible in BC.
 
My column definitions are as follows
 
Column 1 
Column 2
Column 3 (Row 1 + Row 2)
 
My row definitions are as follows
 
Row 1 = Revenue 
Row 2 = Cost of Sales
Row 3 = Row 1 - Row 2 (i.e., Gross Profit)
Row 4 = Row 3 / Row 1 (i..e, Gross Profit %)
 
Column 3 is adding my Gross Profit %'s together rather than adding the columns first then calculating the percentage.
 
Sample data to explain what is occuring if it isn't clear from the above.
 
 
Any assistance would be great! I feel like I'm missing an easy solution...
 
Cheers
Tim

    As far as I know, it is not possible, but it may be possible if customized. I'm sorry that I haven't confirmed it in detail.
     
    Hopefully other experts can give you better advice.
    Thanks
