How do i run a report showing gross sales by month for a 12 month period

To show gross sales by month for 12 month period (or any custom date) on one report: 

Reports / Company & Financial / Profit & Loss Standard. 

Click: Customize Report; In the center where it says Display columns by________ across the top. Click the down arrow and choose Month. Click OK

Set the dates on you want the report for; refresh.

You should have your gross sales by month.

I find it staggering QBO doesn't allow a management tool as simple and fundamental to business operation as sales by month.

This is exactly the report I was looking for.  Thanks for the easy instructions

I need you to try and fix the recconcilation issue I have.

Hi -

I run the books on a cash basis so the P/L shows cash received not invoices issued. Is there a 12-month view of invoices / invoice totals by month as I would get if I were running the books accrual ?

thanks

Thanks for joining this thread, @GBA7.

You should be able to switch between Cash or Accrual for the Accounting Method in the Report like the screenshot below:

If you don't see that option, then we can do some troubleshooting to isolate this behavior. I'd like to start with opening a Private Window or an Incognito Window in your web browser. This will open your account in a clean slate and loads fresh data. Here's how:

• Mozilla Firefox / Internet Explorer: Press CTRL + Shift + P
• Safari: Press Command + Shift + N
• Google Chrome: Press CTRL + Shift + N

Once you're in the Private / Incognito Window, sign in to your QuickBooks Online account and try to run the Profit and Loss Report again with the Accounting Method. If it works, you can go back to your original browser and clear the cache. Alternatively, you can use other compatible browsers.

You can also run the Invoice List to show the Invoices by the month and see what you would be received by the total of all of the Invoices for that month. Another option would be to run a Transaction Detail Report with some customization to show the Accounting Method and by Invoices and/or Invoices and Payments Only.

Let me know if you need further assistance. I'm always here to help you in any way that I can. Have a safe weekend!

Really not a good product when fundamentals are missed.  But given their enormous market share, they don't seem to care.
