I set up and 'programmed' a spreadsheet in LibreOffice. One sheet has discretionary spending with cells for amounts for that time period. I used the transaction report and limited it to the bank accounts used, certain expense accounts and some transfers to fit my needs. I then ran these and just used the values, which were totals, ie fuel or groceries in the cells in the spreadsheet. It might take a bit of fiddling to get the reports correct, with the right data etc...
I suppose if you had the time you could export to a csv file and code the export to go to specific cells in the spreadsheet that might be a way to do it. Or, import the csv file (or whatever is available to export) to the spreadsheet to specific cells would work too. In theory, would work I don't know the language used. I can do MS Access to MS Excel, wonder if it would be similar.
