LS Function
The LS function links a leadsheet balance from the accounting database. CaseView's linkage worksheet is the quickest way to link leadsheet balances using the LS function. The exact syntax will be added automatically using the linkage worksheet.

Where
The Sign is optional and is set by default to debit if not supplied. Refer to the following chart for information on the sign parameter.
| Sign | What it does |

Example 1
LS("D","BA:YR0","A")
Returns the debit current year to date adjusted balance for leadsheet A.
Example 2
The following example uses a wildcard in the form of a question mark (?) to link multiple leadsheets with similar numbers.
LS("D","BA:YR0","10.??")
Returns year to date leadsheet adjusted balances using the number format of 10.??. The wildcard locates both numbers and letters. This function links balances from leadsheets 10.01, 10.02, 10.03 and so on.
Example 3
There is support for the balance identifier "SUB". Using this includes the children of a leadsheet in a total.
LS("BA:SUB", "A") returns the final balance for leadsheets A, A.10, A.20,….
