I would recommend going to tools and using Close Book to remove the previous years TB P&L figures. Then re-run the TB.

You seem to be talking about a "trial balance" and a "date range"/ AFAIK, a trial balance is like the balance sheet. It would have a date, not a date range. Michael D Novack PS: Since having begun using computer apps for bookkeeping, I have never bothered with a "trial balance". Oh yes I remember those well, but back in the days when I was doing bookkeeping pen and ink on paper. Easy to make mistakes copying numbers. I have not encountered a single "posting error" when done by computer instead of human eye and hand. By which I mane that if something is ever entered out of balance, there will be a non-zero amount in the special account Imbalance. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
