RES: Account Page

[David T.]

When Yawar originally posted the question on 1/16 that was posed to him directly, it read:

"On the main Account Page can you change or filter the totals to a year? If I want to see only the current year totals, or look at last year totals."

THAT was what I meant by the OP's request.

So, yes, OP wanted current year information. Andre's post (which you are quoting) was a subsequent entry in the thread.

Really?  Where did you read this into the original message?  All he
asked was:

>> It’s possible add the column named Actual which permit view today’s
>> amounts stead (or also) the Total column.

Where do you get from "today's amounts" to "Period"?
