# Fiscal Year Support

In the xViz Gantt Chart, we can configure the starting month of the Fiscal year as needed.

In different countries the Fiscal year cycle is different.

**Steps to configure:**

1. Go to the **Format Pane** -> **Fiscal Year Type** and select **Fiscal** option to configure.
2. Go to the **Format Pane** -> **Fiscal Year - Starting Month** and select the month which is the starting month of the desired Fiscal Year.
