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.
The report you are looking for is in Reports > Experimental > Income
Statement (multicolumn)
In Options > General, set:
*Period duration > One Year
*Start Date > first day of first year in report, e.g.—1/1/21
*Last Date > last day of last year in report, e.g.—12/31/22
You can control the order of the columns with:
*"Period order is most recent first"
You can also get a combined overall column and a bar chart. (the chart
doesn't yet show up on the report, but as a link to the chart near the top)
Sadly, there is no variance column option here. You still need to export
to a spreadsheet to make one manually.
Should I be asking for an enhancement?
It can't hurt, but don't expect action on any timetable. At the least,
requesting a variance column for this particular report I think would be
useful to see over/under vs. previous period(s).
Regards,
Adrien
