# Adjust function

Last modified May 8, 2026

> Increase or decrease budget amounts by percentage or units, and save.


An alternative to the **Spread** function, is the **Adjust** function. You can use **Adjust** to increase or decrease an amount by a number of units or a percentage.

> [!TIP]
> This method can also be used to spread an amount across a line item detail. See [Add line item details](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/onestopreporting/budgeting/budget/report/edit-budget-data/add-line-item-details/index.md).

To adjust the amounts across a row (main line):

1. In the open budget template, click any cell in row you want to edit.
2. Click the arrow next to **Spreading and Line item details** at the bottom of the spreadsheet. The name and row number of the selected row is displayed at the top of the **Spreading** pop-up window.
3. If the **Spreading** function is not visible, click ![](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/onestopreporting/shared-images/img/en/LID.png) in top-right corner.
4. Click **Adjust**.
5. Select the base line in the **Based on** list (usually **Main line**).
6. In the **Adjust each value by field**, do one of the following:

    - Enter a percentage (positive or negative) and click the **%** button. Note: This will not work if the Main line is empty.
    - Enter an amount (positive or negative) and click **Units**.

7. (optional) Select a line item detail. See [Add line item details](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/onestopreporting/budgeting/budget/report/edit-budget-data/add-line-item-details/index.md).
8. Click **Adjust**. The amount is adjusted across the row.
