Table Columns

The Consolidated Balance Sheet report displays different aspects of the base elements you select in several tables. For each the table, the columns shows the balance sheet accounts in rows in relation to the time dimension in columns (specifically the Month_YTD dimension and its prior period, e.g. 2018-12_YTD and 2017-12_YTD, see screenshots below). The columns displayed in the report depend on the the selection made in the PoV area:
