At Oneflow, we believe that great financial decisions start with clarity. That’s why we’re excited to introduce a powerful new feature that brings deeper insight to your reporting workflow — Comparison Columns.

Whether you’re reviewing trends, tracking budgets, or presenting to stakeholders, comparison columns allow you to see the bigger picture — side by side. And now, with saved columns, you can define, manage, and reuse these comparisons across all your reports with ease.

What are Comparison Columns?

Comparison Columns let you compare two or more financial periods or data sets directly within your reports. Instead of exporting spreadsheets or doing manual calculations, Oneflow brings flexible, customizable comparisons right into your reporting interface.

Use them to:

• Compare this month vs last month

• Track actuals vs budget

• Measure year-to-date vs prior year

• Analyze custom periods or scenarios

• Compare Reports across various reporting tags

Save Before You Add

Oneflow takes it a step further by introducing a “save-column .

Instead of creating ad hoc comparisons every time, you now define and save your comparison columns — ensuring consistency, reusability, and better control over your financial reporting.

Why saving matters:

• 🧩 Reusable: Use the same comparison setup across multiple reports

• ✅ Consistent: Keep monthly and quarterly reports aligned

• 🔒 Secure: Role-based access ensures only authorized users can modify or apply saved comparisons

How It Works

Using Comparison Columns is simple and intuitive:

• [ ] Open a report (e.g., Profit & Loss)

• [ ] Select “report parameters like date, branch etc.”

• [ ] Click save column:

  • Name title (e.g., “Q1 2025 vs Q2 2025”)

  • Select the base period and comparison period

• [ ] Save the column

• [ ] Return to your report and Add Column

• [ ] Select as many columns from the saved Report Column

The result? A clean, professional side-by-side report you can trust.

Example in Action

Here’s a quick snapshot of what a saved comparison column might look like in a P&L report:

Account	Q2 - 2081-82	Q1 - 2081-82	Q2 - 2080-81
Revenue	50,000	46,000	42,000
Expenses	30,000	29,000	28,000
Net Profit	20,000	18,000	14,000

With just a few clicks, you can generate powerful insights like this across months, quarters, or even fiscal years.
