Measures are different types of numerical data values (such as Amount, Quantity, Local Value, Reporting Value, and so on) that display in the statement grid. You can use the Measures menu to change the measure, however, you can only view one measure at a time.
When you customize the columns in a financial statement, you have the option to use custom measures. This option allows you to insert additional columns into your financial statement to enable the analysis of multiple measures from the same data stream within a financial statement.
In the Customize Columns window, select the Use custom measures checkbox in the top-left corner. The Measure setting displays for each column. Select the required meausre and complete the columns setup as usual.
The following examples show how you can use multiple measures in your financial statements to enable further analysis.
