Expressions

Category and account code expressions

Category and account code expressions retrieve financial data based on category or account codes, with options for rounding, period selection, and sign reversal.
Expression
Description
reporting.Queries.CategoryValueOrZero('P 1', 1m, 'CurrentPeriod', null, null, true, null)
Fetches the value of a category code balance. Returns zero if the category code lacks GL assignments or has no balance.
Filters within parentheses refine the returned value:
  • P 1: Category code filter (represents revenue in UK/IE content)
  • 1m: Rounding precision level (whole numbers)
  • CurrentPeriod: Period filter (returns P1 balance for current period)
  • Null: Used for unspecified filters (reporting period, entity, journal classification)
  • True: Reverses the sign of the value (otherwise, debit is positive, credit is negative)
reporting.Queries.CategoryValueOrZero('P 1', 1m, 'CurrentPeriod', null, 'Company', true, null)
Fetches company-only data by changing the entity filter to the company identifier. The company/group identifier varies in our content, potentially appearing as 'E1' or 'Parent Entity'.
reporting.Queries.CategoryValueOrZero('P 1', 1000m, 'CurrentPeriod', null, 'Company', true, null)
Fetches company-only data, rounded to the nearest 1000.
reporting.Queries.CategoryValueOrZero('P 1', 1000m, 'CurrentPeriod', null, 'Company', false, null)
Fetches company-only data without reversing the sign. Shows revenue as a negative/credit value.
reporting.Queries.CategoryValueOrZero('P 1', 1000m, 'CurrentPeriod', null, 'Company', false, 'Original Trial Balance')
Brings the value of the category based on journal data classified as 'Original Trial Balance'.
reporting.Queries.AccountValueOrZero('10001', 0.01m, 'CurrentPeriod', null, null, false, null)
Fetches the value of an account code balance. Returns zero if the account code has no balance. Uses the same filters within parentheses as explained in the previous expressions.

Filter selections for category and account code expressions

Details on how to apply filters to expressions, including category codes, account codes, and entity filters.

Category code

The example expression uses the category code 'P 1', which represents revenue in UK and Ireland content. Other country content uses 'PL.REV' for revenue. You can modify any category code expression by updating the category code within the expression.

Account code

The example expression uses the account code '10001', which represents a specific GL code in our Chart of Accounts. You can modify any account code expression by updating the account code within the expression.

Entity filters

The entity identifier varies across our country content.

Journal classification filters

We used the journal classification 'Original Trial Balance' in the example expression. This represents a defined journal classification. Your entity's available classifications determine the defined classifications. We can't define the possible options here if customers can create or edit existing classifications.
