    It looks like you didn't create a fiscal year (Accounting Periods)? The FY keyword has no effect if the current year has not been created.
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

    I'm using the Comparison Period Formula field, you're trying to enter in the Comparison Date Formula field. If you don't see the Comparison Period Formula field, personalize and add it to the page.

    Try the following in your column definition, in the Comparison Period Formula field. When you run the financial statement, in the date filter enter the year you want to run it for i.e. enter january 1 2023..december 31 2023 to run it for 2023

    Can you provide more information, are you running a report and using Q1 in the date formula field? If so which report? Or is it somewhere else. Also, do you have accounting periods set up?
