Good news; future releases where "Running Balance" is enabled, and the sorting/grouping options include account, *will* now print the balance brought forward. Zero-amount transaction hack isn't needed anymore. On Mon, 6 Jan 2020 at 05:01, Christopher Lam wrote: > Wouldn't seem right to offer

Wouldn't seem right to offer disable zero in the transaction report. But a "running balance brought forward" as shown is a worth while addition that can be added imminently. So there won't be any need for the zero-amount transaction hack. On Mon, 6 Jan 2020, 10:47 am Adrien Monteleone, <

Thank you, this works nearly perfectly to achieve the desired effect. Brilliant! When I say nearly perfectly, it's only because the amount column for the first (artificial) line shows $0.00, whereas it would be better aesthetically if were blank. No matter -- in cases where I care enough I can

This is a nice hack. It would be even a nicer hack that the transaction report automatically inserts the balance brought forward on the same row as the account name. I suspect this is doable. On Fri, 3 Jan 2020, 3:10 pm david whiting, wrote: > What I do is add a transaction on the first date
