Create financial statements

Post by samcan »

Hello,

How would I go about creating financial statements in a document? For example, how would I create an income statement?

The problem is the whole, numbers in certain columns are summed, and move to different columns...

Should I just do a table?

Thanks!

I haven't got the slightest idea of how such statement should look like. It would help if you give a visual example.


Best regards

There's a text example on Wikipedia, unfortunately, I tried pasting it in using the code option, but it's not working. On the article, "Income Statement," under the section "Usefulness and limitation of income statements," there is a mono-spaced form of an income statement.

Thank you.

I have found the Wikipedia article you mentioned [1]. In addition to Herbert's suggestion I think that the calctab package could do a similarly good job.

Here is a solution, made with spreadtab and numprint packages:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{spreadtab}
\usepackage[autolanguage]{numprint}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\begin{document}
\begin{spreadtab}{{tabular}{lN60N60}}
\multicolumn3c{@--- INCOME STATEMENT BOND LLC ---}\\
\multicolumn3c{@For the year ended DECEMBER 31 2007}\\\hline
                                             &\multicolumn1c{@\$}   &\multicolumn1c{@\$}\\
                                             &\multicolumn1c{@Debit}&\multicolumn1c{@Credit}\\
@Revenues                                    &       &\\
