The Adjusted balances button allows you to look at your financial report with or without the computation of the adjusting entries. If the button is OFF, the unadjusted balances of accounts, items and totals will be displayed by having ExcelFSM ignore the adjusting entries. By default, the button is ON.
If turned ON, balances will be updated with the Adjusting Entries.
If turned OFF, balances will be updated to ignore any Adjusting Entries.
Note: Each worksheet remembers its own Adjusted/Unadjusted state.
Adjusting entry categories
If you categorized some adjusting entries
Clicking on the Adjusted balances down arrow button allows selecting/unselecting adjusting entry categories for the computation of the adjusted balances.
Note that by default, categories are selected.
Turning the Adjusted balances button ON, balances will be updated with the Adjusting Entries of the selected categories.
Looking at the Adjusting Entries, the unselected category letters are lowercased (‘@’ replacing blank), and selected categories letters remains uppercased.

NOTE: The Adjusting Entries affect the current financial period balances only, and not the balances of previous financial periods.
