If you are treating members as 'customers' then you may have other options. 
Otherwise, you'd have to go through the equally tedious task of setting up 
sub-accounts for each member, or creating a saved report configuration for each 
member.

The Transaction Report does offer filtering capabilities that you can use on a 
Memo field for that last option.

Another alternative for a consolidated report might work:

The Transaction Report also lets you sort by the Memo field, so if you choose 
only the Gift Aid account, and the Memo starts with/contains only the Member 
names, you might be able to get subtotals for each member. (if that is what you 
are looking for)

In either case, no need to filter date range for the account view first, you'll 
do that in the report options.
Date Range isn’t available when adjusting report options, as far as I can see.

Should be under the General Tab in Options.
If you want individualized reports per member, then you can still use that last 
option, but you'll need to save each as a Report Configuration and just name it 
for each Member. Then run them one at a time as needed.
What if the Memo field contains "Member:  member last, first name" so that the filter was 
on the leading "Member: " portion but you still sorted by the Memo field.  Wouldn't each 
break based on the remainder of that field trigger a total line?  In that way this would be just 
one report without having to know if new members were added or removed.

Thanks, Steve.

I’ve tried just putting “M: “ in front of a few of the names in the memo filed, 
sorting by memo field and then using Cmd-F to search for “M: “ contained in the 
memo field, and that looks promising.

The transaction report derived from this won’t produce sub-totals by member, 
but the Gift Aid claim has to be itemised by date so that’s not a huge problem.

I’ll polish it and report back.

Confirming that this procedure allows me to produce a single report that covers 
my needs, with each member’s Gift-Aid-claimable donations listed in 
alphabetical order, and takes account of the fact that the Income:GA account is 
the parent of several accounts which specify the nominated destination for the 
donations, such as Income:GA:Foundation, Income:GA:PolioPlus.

Michael.
