Financial Reports - Comparative %

On the specifications for the line on which you want your ratio to be based
(ex: Total Sales), you have to put a check where it says percent. Then all
your numbers in the ratio column will give you the ratio you are looking
for.

Can anyone please help me regarding the following?

In Financial Reporting (Income Statement) there are Columns called %
Sales (Column 4 and Column 6) on the Standard Row which are
Comparative % fields. Can anyone tell me how these work? ie. What
values are compared as I only ever get zeroes in this field on a
report.

I need something to compare the Sales figure with the other values on
my Income Statement Report to create a Statement of Operations and
Earnings Report. I realise I can use the Ratio to do this but then I
have to have another line on my report display this value. I would
have preferred to have the % of Sales as a column on the Row it
relates to. Note: The % of Sales I am referring to is the Row value
divided by Sales value displayed as a percentage.

ps. Thanks for the help on the current company and User Id. I
discovered that the method Todd gave me actually gives the id of the
User logged on to the Server. This is not necessarily the user id
that I have used to log into Vantage. ie. I log into the Server as
Wendy and if I then log into Vantage as Manager, the reports I create
display the user id Wendy. However, the reports provided by Vantage
display the user id Manager. Does anyone know where the Vantage User
Id is?

Regards

Wendy
