[GNC] reports blank query
This command works great for my flatpak GC from the terminal window (spews a bunch of stuff into the window first, but then launches GC fine with visible reports). But - if I paste that command line into a launcher, it fails.

Re: [GNC] Reports not displaying.
Thanks. For others who might come across this thread and feel motivated to add to it, that's not necessary. As Richard Ullger reported back in October we know that the root cause is Nvidia screwing up their Linux drivers. Unfortunately a lot of distributions didn't get the memo about that and continue to create new packages with the broken drivers even though Nvidia has long since released fixed ones. It even bit Nvidia senior engineer Connor Hoekstra, getting a mention in his podcast (https://adspthepodcast.com/2023/09/15/Episode-147.html or https://adspthepodcast.com/2023/09/22/Episode-148.html, IIRC pretty near the beginning but I don't remember which one).

Re: [GNC] Reports Options: Unexpected Behavior
Thank you for the reply.

Re: [GNC] Reports Options: Unexpected Behavior
When the income statement is first run, it is including the hidden account. (but is not supposed to) Toggling the radio button is apparently 'fixing' this to work as intended. Therefore since the initial behavior is not as designed, I'd call it a bug. I just tested this on a Mac and it is working as you describe, so not specific to OS. Regards, Adrien On 3/4/24 8:21 AM, Old Sawmill wrote: I am a new GnuCash user, and I successfully exported more than 10,000 transactions in several hundred multi-level accounts from QuickBooks and imported that dataset into GnuCash Version 5.5 (Build ID: 5.5+2023-12-16) running on Windows 11. While applying GnuCash capabilities to this imported dataset, I encountered an unexpected behavior with Reports Options, which I have distilled into the scenario below (feel free to follow along with the attached GnuCash data file and associated screenshots image): 1. The data file contains three accounts (MyBank, MyHiddenIncome, and MyExpense), one $708.00 transaction between MyBank and MyHiddenIncome (a hidden account), and one $666.00 transaction between MyBank and MyExpense. 2. After opening the data file, go directly to the Reports menu and select (the built-in) Income Statement, which creates an Income Statement that shows $42.00 of net income, the expected difference between $708.00 of income and $666.00 of expense. 3. Next, select Report Options, and select the General tab. Note that the dates are "Start of accounting period" and "End of accounting period" (corresponding to the current calendar year). 4. Then, select the radio button for entering a custom Start Date, but do not change that custom Start Date value. Instead, just immediately re-select the radio button for "Start of accounting period", and click OK to apply and close the Options dialog. 5. Note that the Income Statement now shows a $666.00 net loss, merely because of back-and-forth radio button changes on the Options/General tab. Now, I have come to understand what GnuCash is doing in this scenario and in various real-world scenarios from which this scenario was distilled. So, I have just one question for the GnuCash Community: Is the behavior that occurs in this scenario a Feature, or a Bug? ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org 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.

Re: [GNC] reports
Thanks for all the help. Adrien, you are correct I should have been more specific. The transaction report worked best for what I needed. Interestingly, the file, export, export to csv output was each split as a row of data (too much info for what I needed). Not what I was looking for, the report worked quite well for what I needed.

Re: [GNC] reports
Good morning Dennis, You could export your checking account transactions to csv for import by excel using one of the File,Export options. I used to use this to send transactions to my accountants. The export is modestly labor-intensive, though, so recently I wrote a short python program to automate my exports. I would be happy to share, but you may need to compile gnucash yourself to enable the python bindings and perhaps do a little debugging, as I only run Linux nowadays. -- Glenn S.

Re: [GNC] Reports for Personal Finance
For the case of an individual or a family, what are the most useful reports? Common advice is that your emergency savings account should hold enough to cover 6 months of expenses. In order to to do that, I need to know my average monthly expenses. I guess I can use the Cash Flow report, look at "Money Out" and divide that by how many months have gone by in the year. Is there a better way to get average monthly expenses? Stop . and this applies to a business as well as personal finances. Cash flow IS important, but it is very different from overall financial status. You need to be looking at BOTH, and being in financial good shape requires that you need to be OK in BOTH senses. To make this clear (in terms of personal finances) assume that your net cash flow is positive but your net credit card liability is increasing, and that increase in credit card liability is greater than the former. On the other hand, you might be perfectly OK in terms of net worth increasing but be subject to a cash flow crunch where at some point in the period you don't have enough cash on hand to pay all expenses << Note -- this is more likely to apply to a business than to personal finances in cases where you DO have a cash cushion in the bank of several month's expenses >> Now as to how to get a monthly average of expenses, the key thing is to realize that you can throw away (ignore) part of a report. Thus an "Income Statement" is always run for an interval between two dates. It shows all income accounts and all expense accounts. You COULD go to the trouble of excluding all those income accounts, but simpler to ignore that part of the report and only look at expenses. For the average, just divide by how many months the report covers.

Re: [GNC] Reports for Personal Finance
If you are that far along, the Budget module can 'auto-estimate' based on previous data. Investigate and play with that feature. Even if you don't use it as a basis of a new budget, it can at least provide you with some analysis that otherwise might be more difficult to craft in a report as it can grab data from multiple years. (and yes, once the budget is made, you can run a 'Budget Report' to get the figures) Regards, Adrien On 12/5/23 9:46 AM, Tom Balazs wrote: I finished importing and reconciling months of bank data.

Thanks, that's very helpful. I followed your recommendations and I like the report much better now. One thing, how do I make the column width for Description narrower. Do I have to use Edit->Style Sheets to do that?

[GNC] Reports for Personal Finance

Re: [GNC] Reports exist but display blank?
The easy way to determine if it is a CSS issue is to try to select anything, or select-all and then copy/paste to anything else like a spreadsheet or text file. But usually just trying to select will produce a highlight and reveal text that matches the background.

Re: [GNC] Reports not displaying.

The one on the system is irrelevant. There has been an issue with webkit requiring opengl recently. Perhaps that's also causing this ? The workaround then was to set WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 in the environment.

[GNC] Reports don't open after some activity in 5.0
Using 5.0 I have at least thrice encountered an issue in which some (perhaps many) reports don't operate. The menu and submenus open, but selecting an actual report is essentially a no-op: nothing happens. Not all reports fail to open, but the one I've been using as a test case is the Transaction Report due to its simplicity. This only seems to happen after some fairly complex interactions in the file, such as downloading OFX files, reconciling, opening other reports, and navigating within / editing registers. Simply closing Gnucash and reopening resolves the issue. I haven't yet been able to identify which specific prior action is "breaking" the report open logic, but it's happened in at least two sets of books here, so it doesn't seem to be a data file issue. There's not enough info yet to make a bug report, but I will do so as soon as I can nail down more specific "steps to recreate". I'm on windows 10, fully updated, running Gnucash 5.0. Perhaps others have encountered this? Is there a log anywhere that might show how far into the report creation sequence it's getting before it dies?

Re: [GNC] reports not working unless exported
Michael, The tax report is different from every other report; it loads account data directly upon running. This is due to the fact that it relies on the user pre-assigning accounts (Phyllis's categories) to tax lines in advance. Otherwise, your advice is spot on. David T.

Re: [GNC] Reports and documentstion are blank on Linux
Dave, Check this out, there was an issue on Ubuntu 20.04 with Flatpak 8-9 months ago - https://askubuntu.com/questions/1398945/why-have-my-gnucash-reports-stopped-working - there's a couple of bug reports linked there that provide a lot of detail. Basically the answer was to run Flatpak Update 1 or more times to update all dependencies and if that doesn't fix the issue try the other work around - Try running GnuCash from terminal like this: WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash That will disable OpenGL rendering in Webkit.

Re: [GNC] Reports and documentstion are blank on Linux
David,
I have the docs for 4.11 (i just haven't yet downloaded the 4.12 documentation
release) built and installed and I'm currently running 4.12 of the program. When
I request Help or the Guide from the Help Menu in GnuCash , yelp comes up with
the following message "Document not found: The URI ‘help:gnucash-help/index’
does not point to a valid page.".
I will download the 4.12 docs and rebuild them to see if that fixes the problem,
which it did.
The 4.12 installs to "/usr/local/share/help/C/gnucash-guide" and
"/usr/local/share/help/C/gnucash-help" not to the usr/local/share gnome/help "
directory and then yelp successfully finds the uris.
To build the docs I down loaded
from
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/releases/download/4.12/gnucash-docs-4.12.tar.gz
and extracted the "gnucash-docs-4.12" from the tar.gz file to a directory under
my home directory then opened a terminal in that gnucash-docs-4.12 directory
then used the following commands
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -GNinja -DWITH_MOBI=On ../
ninja
sudo ninja install
After that all is working as expected
AFAIK you can now only configure the build with cmake (and not make) after V 4.7
of the docs.
Both ninja-build and cmake have to be installed to build the docs ("sudo apt
install cmake" then "sudo apt install ninja-build" at the terminal prompton
Linux Mint)

Re: [GNC] Reports and documentstion are blank on Linux
My docs are also blank; I was told that they were installed to a different place than where they were expected to be... but I don't think anyone told me... I was hoping to create a symbolic link for the correct path. It would be nice to get it working with docs on my Linux box, but I use online when I need it. I didn't use flatpack... when I did a fresh install, it used 4.08, which is pretty close, I think.

Re: [GNC] Reports and documentstion are blank on Linux
Daved The documentation has to be downloaded and installed separately on Linux. It is not packaged with the program in most cases. https://www.gnucash.org/docs.phtml. I think running nin Even when installed yelp does not seem to find the location from within the GnuCash program. It appears to be looking for a HTML index file and not the xml format that yelp uses by default. In a normal install of the documnetation it is installed to "/usr/local/share/gnome/help/gnucash-guide" and "/usr/local/share/gnome/help/gnucash-help". If I start yelp in a terminal and point it to these location the guide and help manual open in yelp, but not when yelp is opened from within GnuCash itself (GnuCash 4.12 on Linux Mint 22). It is likely that an environment variable has not been correctly setup . I avoid this totally by accessing the online html versions of the help manual and the guide from https://lists.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-help/help.html and https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-guide/index.html in a browser when I need to.

Re: [GNC] Reports: Account ending balances
Ah, you may indeed have to create a budget even if there are no budgeted figures. My memory is a bit fuzzy on that point, but I think the budget report will require you specify a budget, which defines what the periods are, and those are fixed with absolute dates. It is not a sliding window like 'this year' that other reports offer. So you set up a new 'budget', put no figures in it (unless you want to) define the time frame of the budget to the reporting period you want (say, 1/22—12/22), then run a Budget Report for that 'budget' you just defined, turning off Actuals, Difference, and various subtotals, et cetera as needed to clean it up. Another option, though the layout may not be desirable, is the Transaction Report selecting the desired accounts, then removing as much info as possible, and including the 'table' option. That *might* get you close. But I think the Budget Report is closer if you can get the reporting period to line up. A further alternative would be separate Income Statement & Balance Sheet reports. (if you want to export to a spreadsheet) If you just want to view it on screen, then you can create a custom multi-column report with both of those. Note, the multi-column report is more than just 'columns' and more like specifying layout. (you can have more than one report in a single 'column' if I recall correctly) It is possible to use this to create a 'dashboard' of sorts with various reports/charts in its own tab.

Re: [GNC] Reports: Account ending balances
Thanks Adrian, The experimental Income Statement (Multicolumn) report is exactly what I'm looking for. I just need to figure out how to remove the sub-totals and do it myself in a spreadsheet and manually re-order the accounts too. Would be great if it wasn't just limited to income and expenses but also included all other accounts so I could track how asserts and liabilities change from month to month.

Re: [GNC] Reports: Account ending balances
A Budget Report can do that. Not certain if you need a budget set up, but I don't think so. Include only the 'actual' column(s). I think there is also an experimental multi-period P (Income Statement) which is probably more of what you are looking for.

However, let me suggest something else. This is a report where you MIGHT want to first run with zero balances showing, look at the report to see if there were any UNEXPECTED zeroes, then rerun with zero balances suppressed << just change the option >> This is for roughly the same reason that I ran the reports "raw" and then hand editing after exporting.

Consider that I was a pro (and though not fluent in LISP, can read most anything -- SCHEME is a LISP dialect). But even so, when I first began using gnucash for an organization the lawyer/accountant on the board said "Mike, don't bother writing custom reports. Just generate the raw reports, export them, and we'll use our favorite editors to assemble the finished product. It's what any of us accountants would do." So you need to decide for yourself, which will be easier. Doing the customization inside gnucash (and printing that out) or if the data needed for the finished report is available on existing gnucash report(s), just get the report(s) out of gnucash and edit/message them outside of gnucash. It depends on WHAT your "customizations" are. Just selecting certain accounts? Well existing reports allow you to do that. You want something else for the report title, ditto. You wan to check out ALL the report options for a report before asking about "custom". Describe for us WHAT customization you want/need for what report(s). We can then better advise. Might already exist. Michael D Novack PS: Mind, I was going to need LOTS of "customizing" besides simple things like showing two side by side. Things like the ability to add annotation (an amount that was unusual "marked" with a symbol and in the footnotes text explaining. Like an account that was supposed to be showing an amount being zero might be flagged and the matching note below "invoice for printing and mail annual meeting notice not yet received for the vendor". Also mind that as treasurer, I might need a level of detail (for gov't reporting) that would be of no interest shown that way to the board at quarterly meetings. Thus for deciding whether 1099-MISCs needed and for whom I need the annual "Statement of Revenues and Expenses" report (that's what a non-profit calls the report a business would call "Profit and Loss") to show for each intern how much paid, how much for mileage reimbursement. But the board would only want to see the parent "interns" total among expenses. Not how much we gave Tom and how much Mary and how much of what we gave them was pay vs mileage reimbursement. In other words, easier to run the full report in gnucash, export it, keep one as the raw report and make a copy in which unwanted information is edited out. Existing report options can be useful but sometimes not. Thus "omit accounts with zero amount" is an option but I might not want that globally << an account with an unexpectedly zero amount might belong on the report, probably with an annotation >> ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] reports
I think pretty much most if not all reports have the 'Accounts' tab in 'Options' where you select which accounts you want to report on. (the 'Account Report' being the one exception I can think of, since the account is already specified) You need to click the Options button on the toolbar, then choose the Accounts tab, then select your desired accounts. Reading the Help Manual and the Tutorial & Concepts Guide will aid you considerably.

Re: [GNC] reports: filter by number
Do the bill#'s show up in the NUM field (or elsewhere) in your expense account registers? If so, my first suggestion would be to do a Find (from the CoA tab) filtering for the string you want. Then run an Account Report (or File > Export > Active Tab to CSV) on the Find results tab. Let us know if that works. Also, while the P/Income Report filtering is somewhat limited, the Transaction Report gives much more flexibility and *should* operate on the NUM field if I am not mistaken. If not directly in the Filter option, then try the Regex option. Regards, Adrien On 1/11/22 6:29 AM, Bregt - ICTgroup.be via gnucash-user wrote: Hi all!

[GNC] Reports with amounts Re: gnucash-user Digest, Vol 224, Issue 11
Michael, thank you, all understood, I desire to print out an annual report that is a compilation of all account transaction entries for the entire year to use as a reference volume and for double checking accuracy of transactions assigned to specific accounts. When my EA tax preparer looks at the totals on the income statement and says such-and-such total seems high what’s different this year, I can go to this report and look through the transactions I assigned to that account and see if something sticks out as not belonging there. Interestingly explaining myself here caused me to confirm the difference of a general journal report and general ledger and the general journal seems what I would want except I have the report I was happy with having produced the year before and it has general ledger at the top. I’ll play around starting with the general journal to see if I can get what I want starting there. I change the computer date because it was my understanding (and makes sense) that is the date the gnucash software program uses when saving backups and doing it’s thing there. It had a tip to close the program every night or data saved may not have the correct date when you roll over to a new day so I do it out of habit now anticipating what else might be affected and am sure to NAME the file the actual date period of the activity.

It seems you somehow managed to set foreground colour = background colour (white). Unfortunately for you GnuCash is using Cascaded stylesheets (CSS), so there are many places where you can have misconfigured your reports. As I am not familiar with Windows, read the section https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Customizing_the_Appearance and linked pages. But perhaps someone else can chime in?

Re: [GNC] Reports not displaying
Hi Frank, Yes, Win 10. Empty as in blank white sheet, no headers etc. Only tab is showing, for example, "Cash Flow". Default stylesheet. Thanks, On 28 Oct 2021 12:42, Frank H.

This morning, after entering some investment transactions manually, I wanted to look at the Portfolio report. Only showed a empty report. Selected different reports, accounts, dates but all the same.
