    Yes, Viral! You can have a view where you can compare two periods of your Profit & Loss (P&L) statement in both total dollars and as a % of income. I appreciate that you’re exploring these features in QuickBooks to get the most out of your financial data.


     

    Here’s how you can compare two periods with both total dollars and % of income:


     

    1. Go to Reports: Open your QuickBooks and navigate to the “Reports” section.
    2. Select Profit & Loss: Choose the “Profit & Loss” report.
    3. Adjust the Date Range: Set your date range for the first period you want to compare.
    4. Add a Comparison Column:
      •  Click Compare, then select the period you want to compare.
      • Scroll down, and choose how you’d like to display the comparison.

    For a full view of both periods’ % of income, exporting to Excel is the best way to tailor the report to your needs. 


     

    Your satisfaction means so much to me. Let me know your feedback on this. Please let me know if you’d like a step-by-step guide on exporting and customizing the data in Excel!
