Thanks Adrien for your reply. I have also been trying to produce a report showing this year's P&L compared with previous. I tried the multi column reports, but the descriptions repeat and the rows do not line up.
Reporting Actual V Budget and prior years is pretty standard in an accounting system, and whilst I love GnuCash, it's an area not covered well. Should I be asking for an enhancement? regards David Message: 8 Date: Tue, 27 Dec 2022 20:34:12 -0600 From: Adrien Monteleone <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [GNC] How to generate Budget V Actual Report for Profit and Loss Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed You are correct. The current work-around is to finish off in a spreadhseet to add the missing Net Income calculation. Adding the Actual (and Variance) to the Budget Income/P&L version would be nice. (percentages would be awesome too!) I'm not sure that it is necessary for the basic Budget Report as that can also show other types of accounts and in such context, a Net Income might not be useful or meaningful.
