Profit Statement for Month
In a profit statement, different categories of revenue and costs spread over a
period of time. When you work out a profit statement on paper, you first
write down the names of categories, such as "revenue" and "costs." You do
this in a Multiplan spreadsheet by entering text in a cell.
Note: To Multiplan, text is any combination of letters or numbers that you
do not calculate. Any text you enter must be enclosed by quotation
marks.
