Balance Forward Alternate Range
If you add a column with an alternate range type of Relative to report date, an alternate range of Balance Forward is available.
A column with the Balance Forward alternate range reflects ALL activity prior to the beginning of the overall report range, or to the “As of” date, of the report.
This option is available for both alternate date range and alternate period range. For example:
-
If you run a report with a range of 12/1/09-12/31/09, the Balance Forward alternate range is 1/1/1970-11/31/09.
-
If you run a report with an “As of” date of 1/1/09, the Balance Forward alternate range is 1/1/1970-12/31/08.
-
If you run a report with an “As of” period of January 2009, the Balance Forward alternate range is January 1970-December 2009.
The start date for any Balance Forward alternate range is January 1, 1970, and can't be changed.
