New Profit & Loss report - Show balances of all tracking categories(inc. nil balance)
For the new format of the Profit and loss report, only show the tracking categories that actually have a balance. Therefore do not show with nil balance.
Currently have to adjust the report to remove the relevant columns which is time & $.
The old version did this automatically!

This feature has been requested for the last 8 years or even longer. It is such a basic feature - every other accounting package offers this. It is also not very difficult to add. After years of requests, we got a response from Xero (about 2 years ago) saying that this feature is being removed from their "to-do" list, so please stop asking. The easiest solution now is to use VBA in excel.

Agreed that we should be able to add option to insert the zero balances in our profit and loss report, so that external viewers can see the accounts where money has not been spent thus far

Would significantly improve our month end process

It should be a basic option to choose to show accounts with a nil balance. So much time is wasted reformatting the reports in Excel.

It's critical to our business to have the ability to see nil balance accounts within the P&L.

Important to have report include zero balances as standard format helps with inserting data into other reports

Please add this feature. It is a critical element in my particular industry and other accounting packages such as MYOB offer this. Zero might be the only software that does not offer it. It takes me quadruple the time to do a profit and loss statement because you don't offer this simple element.

Please Xero have the option to show Nil balances, especially on custom reports. Its a nightmare not being able to have a standard format to export into google sheets

Yes!
Also see https://productideas.xero.com/forums/939198-for-small-businesses/suggestions/46845046-profit-loss-report-compare-tracking-categories
to be able to include ALL categories that do have balances. -

We rely on this report monthly to track GP by client. I still search Reports and use Profit and Loss old Version. I hope the old version is not deleted until new reporting has been updated
