Thanks for clarifying. Just a reminder -- I didn't ask the original question because I don't need the kind of tagging the original questioner (Kalpesh Patel) was asking for. I haven't found a use for the transaction report in my own bookkeeping so far, but I think I should give it another look. There's a guide to getting started in "10.3.1. Transaction Report" and "10.3.8. Using the Transaction Report" in the Tutorial and Concepts Guide, <https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v5/C/gnucash-guide/>. Section 10.3.8 has several use cases, with step-by-step instructions.
