Reporting Issues - Comparison Reports Leap Year

Question

I have encountered a difference with Profit and Loss comparative reports between the online file MYOB Business and the desktop file MYOB AccountRight for the same client.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
When generating the report for February 2025 compared to February 2024 the AccountRight report is correct.&nbsp; However, the online version only allows for the "last month" selection (ie 1.2.25 to 28.2.25) which drops off any transactions in the comparison that were entered on the leap year day 29.2.24.
&nbsp;
I have tried to generate the report using custom dates but that doesn't work either.&nbsp; How do you get around this other than changing all the transactions dated 29.2.24 back to 28.2.24 to get the comparative data correct in the online file?

Hi JulieBG , From notes I took back then I see that AccountRight had the same issue in March 2013 :)...

Hi Mike
The AccountRight file is correct, it is the online file that is not showing the data correctly.&nbsp; Maybe they fixed AccountRight but haven't applied the same fix to MYOB Business?

Hi JulieI have the same issue. Did you find a solution?

Hello
No, the only way to get comparison reports was to change the date of all transactions and journal entries the previous year from 29/2/24 to 28/2/24 or to use the desktop version reports. HopefullyOneMYOB can find a solution or fix this before the next leap year.
