The options selected in the Current and Budgets menus determine the datasets that are used to populate Current and Budget columns in the grid.
You can add or remove the Budget column via the Columns menu. The Current column always displays.
Change the current dataset

Click Current, then select the required dataset from the list. The statement grid updates automatically.

Select the required dataset from the list. The statement grid updates automatically.
Select the Manage Budgets option to assign budgets and/or forecasts to different header streams, which will appear in the dropdown as column options.
