1️⃣ Comparing Multiple Years in a Single Company

  • Open Tally and navigate to any of these reports for the company you want to analyze:

    • Trial Balance

    • Profit & Loss Account

    • Balance Sheet

  • Once the report is open, press Alt + C on your keyboard.

  • A new screen will pop up asking for a date range:

    • Enter the From date and the To date to select the period you want to compare.

  • After entering dates, Tally will display the data for the current period and the selected period side by side on a single screen.

Use Case: This is very helpful when finalizing your Balance Sheet or reviewing financials across multiple years for the same company.


2️⃣ Comparing Data of Two Separate Companies

  • Make sure both companies are opened in Tally at the Gateway of Tally (you can open multiple companies simultaneously).

  • Open the report you want to compare for the first company:

    • Trial Balance / Profit & Loss / Balance Sheet

  • Press Alt + C.

  • Tally will prompt you to enter the company name for the comparison data.

  • Select or type the name of the second company.

  • Tally will then show data of both companies side by side in a single screen for comparison.


⚠️ Key Points to Remember:

  • You can compare multiple years within the same company or multiple companies.

  • Make sure all companies you want to compare are open before you start.

  • The comparison feature works well for period-based or company-based financial data.


Yes, this is the correct and standard method in Tally—using Alt+C (Column Details) from Trial Balance, P&L, or Balance Sheet to set From/To dates lets you compare multiple years on one screen, provided the company data spans those periods.
