I'm not sure exactly how those numbers are calculated and I've never
relied on them.
Perhaps a Balance Sheet would work better. You'd only need to know the
headline numbers:
Total Assets
Total Liabilities
Total Equity
(perhaps, Retained Earnings/Losses, if you like, though that is part of
the Equity section)

I help a friend with their monthly accounting. She has GNUCash installed on a
PC. I have GNUCash installed on a Mac mini M1 computer. She does the input. I
do the month end transactions and check her input. So we send GNUCash data
files backwards and forwards. The way I identify the file I have sent her is to
give her the Summary Box values. She must agree this before starting her new
month’s input.
This worked well until, for no apparent reason, these figures don’t match any
more.
My Mac mini M1 shows:
Net Assets £9,115.89 Profits £3,075.18
Using the same file that I emailed her, her PC Shows:
Net Assets £9,115.89 Profits £0.00
So I realised that there must be a Preference not set by her.
I downloaded and installed GNUCash on my wife’s PC to see how I could correct
the error. I changed the Setting Accounting period dates to the correct ones.
So, on my wife’s PC I have:
Net Assets £9,115.89 Profits £8,803.24
It’s still not right and the Profit figure is now in red.
I now have 3 different Profit Figures, but I cannot find any place on the
Windows version to check why there are these differences, because I don’t know
where this Profit figure comes from. The correct figures are the ones on my Mac
mini M1 above.
I must be missing something. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
