Re: [GNC] Income & Expense Reports

[Adrien Monteleone]

To your #1:
Unfortunately, not without writing a custom report, which at present, is not 
trivial.
Likely the easiest means would be to copy/paste each to a spreadsheet, showing 
all accounts(that is, even those with zero totals) so everything lines up 
between both, and then combining and customizing from there.

The same would go for #2, once in a spreadsheet, you can change the sign easily.

Regards,
Adrien

[GNC] Income & Expense Reports

[Richard Marmor]

   I'm relatively new to Gnucash (now running 2.6.21 in Win 8.1). I
   have been unable to find answers online to two issues I have when
   creating Income & Expense reports in Gnucash.
   Issue 1: Year-To-Date Column
   I have found no way to add a YTD column to a monthly I & E report.
   Is it even possible?
   I have been able to create a multi-column custom report, with one
   half being a complete current month report and the other half
   being a complete YTD report, but that is a really poor substitute.
   For one thing, for any given account there may be no entries in
   the current month, while YTD that account may have a balance. So
   unless I want really long reports listing every account and and
   lots of zeros, there is little or no parallelism between the two
   side-by-side reports.
   Issue 2: Net Losses as Negative
   Where I grew up, net losses always appeared as negative numbers
   following the description "Net Profit/(Loss)."  Gnucash insists
   on reflecting them as positive numbers beside a "Net Loss" title.
   That issue actually passes through to the balance sheet as well,
   it being more descriptive to see a positive Equity figure reduced
   by a negative "Retained Earnings/(Losses)" figure.
   Is there a way to effect this change?
   If the answers are "not possible" to those issues, I would strongly
   like to see them added to a future features agenda.
   Thank you for any help.
