Flywire, I'm still not clear what changes you're proposing here or where they are intended to be placed. While I fully understand that you've created a new report that you want added to GnuCash that you feel meets the needs for analytical accounting, I don't understand your use of the word "data" here; the Guide doesn't really have data. It provides some examples in the course of explaining how to use GnuCash, but it isn't really a source of data, per se.
Since you're seeking to modify the Tutorial & Concepts Guide, you should consult the wiki (<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Documentation_Improvement>) on the proper method for updating that documentation. This list is decidedly not the right venue for this. Furthermore, while I appreciate your attention to the documentation aspect of the endeavor (I've worked in the past to rewrite large sections of the Guide), I think it would be more appropriate at this time for you to officially submit the report to the project via bugzilla and git, so that the community can test the report out and offer feedback more generally. Once that has occurred, the report can get added to the release, and your Guide edits can be submitted through git. Until that time, it's premature to edit the Guide. Although it is not necessary, you might consider creating a documentation bug in bugzilla to start the process off and alert the development team of your goal. David T.
