Reporting - Ability to hide Formula Rows in reports if the result is zero
It would be great to be able to hide formula rows in reports where the result is a nil balance. Currently we get multiple repetitive total lines on reports when there is no activity cluttering up the reports unnecessarily.
1 voteHi Kerrin, thanks for raising this. It’s easy to see how automatically hiding custom formula rows with no activity would make reports cleaner and easier to read.
Without this option, reports can feel cluttered. That often means sharing something that looks busier than it needs to be, or exporting the report just to remove empty rows manually—extra work that defeats the purpose of using the report builder.
I’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can better understand interest in more report-level formatting options. If you’re able to comment with the specific reports where this would be most useful, it’ll help other users understand the use case and help the idea gain traction.

Giving Statements for Year End
It is crucial to be able to print or email statements to multiple or all contacts with received money transactions at once showing each received money transaction for the contact in a time period on individual/separate pages by contact. This is really needed functionality because any nonprofit entity needs to send giving/donation statements at year end. I have tried multiple reports and statements. I can create an Account Transactions report showing all the clients and the received money entries, but it doesn't allow me to separate contact on their own page. The functionality under Business and sending statements would be…

Journal Report - Reversal Filtering and Visibility Enhancements
I would like to request improvements to the Journal Report to make it more user-friendly for accountants and bookkeepers.
Currently, reversal journals and their original entries appear together, which makes the report difficult to read and slows down review during month-end and year-end close.
Please consider adding these enhancements:
1. Preferred enhancement: Reversal Filters
Please add filter options to control visibility of reversal-related journals:
• Show or hide original journals
• Show or hide reversal journals
• View only normal (non-reversal) journals
This would keep the full audit trail intact, but make the report much cleaner and easier to analyze.…2 votesHi Wilianti, thanks for taking the time to share this idea. Your notes on reversal filtering and visual indicators help clarify how these enhancements could support your workflow.
We’ve moved your post into Gaining Support, which opens it up for community votes and comments. It is now up to the community to show their interest, and this gives us a clearer picture of how many users might benefit from changes like these.
We’ll update this thread when the idea gains traction and is reviewed further by the product team.

Reports - Date Range to include Calendar Year to date
Entities often need to view business reports in calendar year, as opposed to Financial year.
Increasingly, revenue, expense and profit performance and targets at management and operational level are considered by calendar year.2 votesHi Ian thanks for sharing your idea here, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

Profit & Loss - Use Average currency value when reporting in an alternative currency
When presenting the Profit & Loss in a different currency from the file currency the exchange rate is as the last date of the Profit & Loss Statement (P&L). While this is appropriate for the Balance Sheet it is not so for the P&L. I would like to be able to extract a P&L report knowing the figures are based on an average exchange rate for the period as opposed to a single date rate.
5 votesAppreciate you sharing your idea here, Michelle.
In the way Xero works at present the exchange rate is based on the end date of a report or the set exchange rate that was used.

Reports - Trial Balance with OPENING / CLOSING balance and and Movement from GL Summary Report
Team Xero
currently TB report shows ending balances for current year in db/cr two columns AND in single column Clubbed up remaining balances +/- in when COMPANRED to previous periods.I propose/request IT to make TB more classic by
- showing ALL remaining balances in two columns DB/CR when comparing previous years
- OPENING and CLOSING balances columns to be available (year selected from starting of fiscal year Jan20xx)
- TB report to ALLOW us to SELECT RANGE of dates (Range based TB)
- MOVEMENT (total Debits Total Credits) for the selected DATE and/OR RANGE should be available. CURRENTLY this is available in GL…
14 votesHi Yaseen, thank you for this incredibly detailed and well-thought-out suggestion for the Trial Balance report.
We can see how much manual work you're doing, combining exports from the GL Summary Report, just to create a "classic" comparative Trial Balance for your auditors. That's exactly the kind of difficult workflow we want to help improve.
Your proposal to enhance the report with separate debit/credit columns for comparatives, clear opening/closing balances, and a movement column for a selected date range is very clear.

Reports - Option for All time / All dates to view all transactions
We need to be able to select "All Dates" on a report. ex. I want to see a report for a certain account from the start of my business to the current date. now I need to select beginning date and then todays date and the update.
13 votesThanks for sharing this great idea for improving efficiency in reports.
For anyone looking to achieve this now, you can view transactions across all time by selecting a custom date range in your reports. By setting the start date to your organisation's first transaction date and the end date to today, you can get a full historical view of your data.
We see the value in your suggestion to add a preset 'All Time' or 'All Dates' option, which would make this process a faster, one-click action.

Payroll AU - Add running totals to Transaction Listing Details Report
Can a total be added under the amount on this report.
If a total was available, I wouldn't need to export to excel simply to add a total before sharing the report.Ideally, the total would also apply to groups on the report, ie, total by employee and total for all employees.
1 voteThanks for letting us know you'd like the Transaction Listing Details Report to have a total per Employee and or Group when you filter the report by Group.
As you've found, the report will only show itemised values. One work around would be to export the report to Excel or Google sheets and add a summary total manually. We'd also suggest taking a look at the Transaction Listing Summary Report.

Reporting - Edit Report Layout due for an update!
Is there a plan in place to update the Edit Report layout to be more user friendly!
In particular, it is clunky inserting tables and being able to edit like a simple word doc (bold, italic, line spacing etc.)
Also being able to print off the reports in the 'edit' mode so you can see the expanded breakdown of the accordian would be very helpful to ensure that Notes match Statements of Financial Performance and Position (especially useful for our juniors who often can't work out where their subcodes are if there have been reporting changes)2 votesHi! Thank you for sharing your idea here. This is an existing feature in Xero. When editing the report layout, you can use the PDF option on the top menu bar to generate a preview of the report. If you require further elaboration or are unable to find this option, please raise a case with our support team for personalised assistance. With regards to the remaining portion of making the user interface better, we have moved this idea to gaining support to gain more support from users who would like this feature implemented.

UK Payroll - Matrix format for pay run reports
Provide reports (for both draft pay runs and posted pay runs) in a matrix format like other Xero reports, rather than listed under each employee. The current format makes it impossible to carry out checks or to create further reports for management.
Given the latest update that improving payroll reports is not a priority for Xero, we are very close to leaving Xero and moving to another payroll provider for the next financial year, as all other softwares we have used during our careers have provided far more useful reporting than what Xero offers.
Xero's financial accounting reports are great…

Transition period for non UK organisations - managed financial year end
Can the transition period for change in financial year date be added to companies that are non UK organisations as well. we have a group of companies that all extended their financial year but i have only been able to use the transition period in UK organisations. Why is this not an option in non UK organisations?

Reports - Add reports for eInvoices
Hi Xero Support,
We've been generating individual e-invoice from Xero/Invoici for months, however, we could not find any report on e-invoice generated through Xero/Invoici.
This report could help us in ensuring accuracy of the data exported to MyInvois portal. We would require a specific report on the generated individual e-invoices to make sure that they tally with the sales invoices report from Xero.
Thanks!
7 votesThanks for sharing this valuable feedback about your experience with e-invoicing.
We've reviewed your idea for a dedicated report on generated e-invoices. We understand how this would be crucial for ensuring the accuracy of data you export to the MyInvois portal and for tallying with your Xero sales reports.
Your suggestion is now open to gain support from the wider community. Along with votes, others can now comment to share how an e-invoicing report could improve their own reconciliation and data validation processes. 🙂

Income by Contact report - Extend chart
Would be great to run this report but be able to show Top 20 or 30 clients rather than just Top 10.
1 voteHi Brenda, just to confirm is it within the graph that you're wanting to increase the # of top customers?
Currently, if you run the Income by Contact report with Chart & table the chart will only show the top 10 but the table will give you an ordered list for all contacts that you received income from in the period.

Profit & Loss - Change heading default to 'Net Profit / (Loss)'
I WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND A PRODUCT UPDATE ON THE PROFIT & LOSS REPORT.
THE REPORTS 'Net Profit' ON ALL REPORTS, EVEN IF SOME PERIODS HAVE A LOSS. CAN IT INCLUDE 'Net Profit/(Loss)' AS PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY THOSE NOT IN THE ACCOUNTING FIELD TO KNOW THAT BRACKETS MEANS A LOSS, MAY INTERPRET (LOSS) AS A PROFIT
2 votesHi Ntando, it'll be good to gauge interest from others in the community that'd like this terminology to be used as a default on the Profit & Loss report.
Want to be open this isn't anything we have any plans for atm with the customisation that's available.
As you may already be across, currently you can edit the heading of the row through the Edit layout, and then Save as Custom where you have the option to make the report the default for the organisation.

Reporting - Suggestion for matching/filtering Balance Sheet items to show 'open' amounts
Only show 'open items' on Balance sheet
Have an ability to match items in a balance sheet account, so only the 'open amounts' (which make up the total) are visible eg for accruals - don't have to see all the old accruals, and the invoices that have cleared these out. Would be able to see summary of just the 'open amounts'

Reports - Common date for next month
When reviewing reports (e.g., Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet), we often need to view monthly data from the start of the fiscal year up to the current month. Right now, we have to manually select the first and last day of each month every time, which is time-consuming and repetitive. This makes simple tasks like flicking through months to verify data more cumbersome than necessary.
- Add “Previous Month” / “Next Month” buttons These buttons would auto-update the report’s date range to the previous or next full month.
Example: From May 1 – May 31, clicking "Next" moves the report to…
