Reporting on divisions

Once you have imported divisions for your company, Fathom enables you to report on divisional data in several ways:


Filter Trend charts by division

When creating Trend charts in Fathom reports, you are able to filter any metric by division. To do so,

  1. After adding a trend chart to a custom Fathom report, hover over the chart and select the green 'Pencil' icon that appears in the top right corner of the chart.

  2. In the chart's Properties menu, select the 'Add or remove variables' option listed under 'Series'.

  3. From this menu, you can select metrics, financials, and Chart of Accounts line items to add to the chart.

  4. When you hover over a variable to add to the chart, a 'Select division' option will appear. Click on this to filter the metric to show the results for a specific division.


Breakdown chart

If you've imported divisional data for your company in Fathom, you're able to add the Breakdown tool as a chart to a report.

  1. In a custom Fathom report, select 'Charts' from the content library on the left sidebar

  2. Choose a 'Breakdown by division' chart to add it to your report


Filter financial statements by individual division

When adding a Financial Statement to a custom Fathom report, you are able to filter the entire statement by division. This is available for your Profit & Loss or Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow Statement.

To do so,

  1. In a custom Fathom report, select 'Tables & Financials' from the content library on the left sidebar

  2. Click on the second bolded smart text filter option at the top of the menu that opens and ensure you're viewing the 'Financials' tables

  3. Select a table from the 'Financials' options

  4. Hover over the table and select the green 'Pencil' icon that appears in the top right corner of the table

  5. In the table's Properties menu, use the dropdown menu under the 'Filter' section to select an individual division's financials to display

💡Pro Tip: Tick the checkbox to ‘Allow report viewers to export to Excel’. This enables anyone viewing the online report to download the table in Excel format.


Financial statements broken up by divisions

The 'Financials by Division' table provides a side-by-side breakdown of your division results in a single financial statement. Each column represents a set of financials for each separate division.

To add this table to a custom Fathom report,

  1. Select the 'Tables & Financials' icon from the content library on the left sidebar

  2. Click on the second bolded smart text filter at the top of the menu that opens

  3. Select 'Financials by Divisions'

  4. Select a table to add it to your report

💡Pro Tip: To remove the 'Unclassified' column if you have financials not assigned to any particular division, uncheck the 'Show other column' option in the table's Properties menu. You can access the table's Properties menu by hovering over it and selecting the green 'Pencil' icon that appears in the top right corner of the table.

Excel export of the divisional results

The Division Summary is also available as an Excel report. You can download this report for your P&L and Balance sheet from ‘Reports > Excel Reports > Financial results by Division’.
