David,

As I noted in another thread, I'm interested in tackling this. I have a few
other ideas I want to try as well. (multi-step Income Statement and
Analytic/Activity style Income Statement)

Let me jump in hear a moment.

The "standard report" in my line of country (non-profits) is TWO periods side by side (generally two years, this year's annual vs last year's annual "Statement of Revenues and Expenses" and of course the corresponding ending Balance Sheets.

I did NOT write a custom report to do this in spite of the fact that I made my living doing software for a "financial" and was reasonably fluent in LISP << and Scheme is a LISP dialect >> That's because I expected the condition under which such a report to "line up properly" in the horizontal sense to be the exception rather than the rule. It is RARE that two consecutive years have NO changes to the CoA << no accounts renamed, no new accounts added, no account split into two, etc >>

In other words, since going to have to fiddle a bit anyway, doing this manually (export the constituent reports form gnucash and then reassemble the pieces with my favorite editor) and making decisions how to deal with the changes to the CoA as they become apparent)
