How Can I Use a "Calculated" Field in another calculation in Financial Statement Columns?

edited Dec 21, 2022 7:37PM in Ask A Guru 5 comments

Hi Gurus!

I have a question please as to customizing a financial statement.

High level:

It seems NS can add only existing (eg monthly amount) fields to formulas, and not "calculated" fields (eg, montly difference between this month now and this month last year).

Scenario:

I am customizing an Income Statement.

I have (YTD Now), and (YTD last year) columns.

Then, I calculated column ($ Change) as (YTD Now) - (YTD Last Year).

Then, I want to calculate (% Change) as ($ Change) / (YTD Last Year).

Problem:

I cannot use a "calculated" ($ Change) field for another calculation.

Question:

Do you know how to get around this?

Howdy, Stranger!
