Profit and Loss statement - help with hierarchy
It's in your first post - I'm "The guy" ;-)
(Unfortunately Microsoft decided to delete the signatures here in the forum and I gave up adding them manually)
ImkeF and MattAllington
Ok so I created a chart of accounts based upon the pdf version that we send out. I am having trouble however with the sort. I have tried sorting on Category Sales and GLAccountName using both of my SortOrder and CategorySortOrder. However neither works and populates error messages. If I can get the sort order correct then I am finished! for now :D
Any advice? Thanks!

It seem that you haven't used any of the both models Matt and I have referenced here.
Don't see how can help you on that basis unfortunately.

For my limited knowledge yours was amzaing to look at but I had no idea what was doing what! I just made a simplified one. I'll dig further for my sort order problems. Thanks for your time however!

Here's what we use in our Power BI for Accountants class. this is the "cascading subtotals" approach ... https://www.dropbox.com/s/pd5blba2c53kni8/Financial%20Reporting%20-%20Full%20Package.pbix?dl=0

Hi Austin, would you mind sharing your example work again? I just clicked into the link being shared and the content was deleted.
We are now desparately looking for solution to bring the total of each category from top to bottom, exactly like what the normal P&L Statement show instead of what the Power BI can offer.
It would be great if I can learn from you and your work.
Many thanks!

In this post I am covering a reasonably simple approach for PL statements with example: https://www.managility.co/profit-loss-dynamic-sub-totals-in-power-bi-excel-dax/
