Re: [GNC] How do i select my checking acct to be able to print it transaction report? Under: reports, transaction report: No acct selected????????
A great deal of success and a few failures. turned on computer this morning and go to gnucash in linux mint cinnamon, and i get this: bbbsiaccounting is no longer a file under Gnucash in linux If i click open anyway, i do get there, but that is probably not the proper way to do it. For the quarter 10/01/2024 to 12/31/2024 my entries and amounts match my bank statements! *CHEERS*, but like opening my acct, it is not the way i think it should be. Specifically my balance from the bank statement,which showed in Nov ending does to move to the beginning of the month of Dec. My grand total is fine with the debit and credits for the month, but the only way i can match the bank statement is to add the nov bank close statement to the transaction report total and it matches. So you can see i am thrilled, but concerned, that my bank closing statement balance are not moving to the next month.

We probably need to keep pointing this out to people new to gnucash because it is counter-intuitive (being backwards) With gnucash you FIRST "run" a report, which brings the report up with default settings. Then you use edit=>report options to select the options that you want for this run of the report. The report will change when you "apply" these changes. They will stay that way as long as the report is open (tab still there). But you can also "save" a report. Personally, if not leaving a report open, I reset the options that I want at the next running of the report to remain conscious of the options being used. But that's because personally I am not running with many options set. Were I, I'd probably save BUT that introduces the potential error of WRONG saved report being brought back (say you have several, same report but different options. NOTE: There are SOME reports where you should always be setting some options. For example, the explicit effective dates.
