    Hi FalconBudget ,

     

     

    Assuming that your revenue / Costs are columns in your data.

     

    Why don't you add a table with the following format:

    Index Category Detail
    1 Revenue Miscellaneous Revenues
    2 Revenue Charges for Services
    3 Revenue Intergovernmental Revenues
    4 Revenue Licenses & Permits
    5 Revenue Fines & Forfiets
    6 Revenue Taxes
    7 Revenue Cash Balance
    8 Revenue  
    9 Expenses Personnel Services
    10 Expenses Maintenance & Operations
    11 Expenses Fixed Costs
    12 Expenses Debt Service
    13 Expenses Contributions & Transfers
    14 Expenses Capital Outlay
    15 Expenses Reserves

     

    Then make a relationship between the last column and your data table.

     

    Use the ID column to sort the Detail column and use this table for your matrix visual should work.

     

    Regards,
