Dave:

Thanks. I got the reports installed and working. It does do a lot of what I can work with to get a kind of 'categories' report. Thanks for helping locate these.

But I cannot seem to turn off the subtotal by month within each account. The string that I've included in each relevant Description field as a string to search for is a string I used for a project that began a few months ago. I really don't need subtotals by month within each account that's affected.

I've got 'Totals' checked on the 'Display' tab, but not 'Running Balance'. In the 'General' tab, I've got Select Period set to 'Custom Dates' and then the Custom_Start Date and Custom_End Date are set to my desired values. In the 'Sorting' tab, I've got Primary Key set to 'Account Name' and have checked 'Primary Subtotal'. Secondary Subtotal is not checked.

George,

You can either get it from the gnucashuser mailing list archive at https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2017-March/069563.html which seems to be the latest version of the transaction report that Doug created.

The reports are attached as links at the bottom of the posting a la - http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/attachments/20170308/af1ea704/attachment-0009.obj>

or

You can get it from the first posting (by dadinva)from this search on nabble which mirrors the gnucash-user list - http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/New-transaction-report-consolidates-creates-composite-if-same-description-has-find-capability-and-cas-td4690238.html#a4690477

If you read either posting you will see it includes an explanation of the changes to the report and the last paragraph explains how to install it. The reports and config files are attached as attachments to this report.

Cheers Dave H.

    I can no longer put it off.  I entered a particular string amongst
    about 30-40 transactions so that I could do a 'classes-style'
    report that would search for my string to find the transactions I
    want to report.  Reviewing the capabilities of the 'standard
    reports', I see that I cannot accomplish this.  But there are
    messages about a 'new transaction report' from a Doug Doughty that
    would accomplish what I'm trying for.

    So, how do I get a hold of this report? Is it something that can
    be attached to an email? Is it something that can be downloaded
    from some repository of custom reports? Do I have to ask Doug to
    send it to me?

    Once I obtain it, I'll try to figure out how to install it so I
    can try to use it.

             There is another thread on the gnucash user maillist
        about a new transaction report from Doug or Cindy Doughty with
        about 30 messages.  I do not know how to put a link to it
        while using my tablet to write this message.
        Go through that thread in reverse to find the last revision.

        That sound like a possibility – thanks. How do I go about
        finding Doug Doughty’s new transaction report? [I am new to
        GnuCash and to this mailing list – and am still at the stage

        extensive use of 'Classes' in Quicken, and can't readily
        seehow to replicate this in GnuCash. As an example, I use
        classes todistinguish between expenditure associated with my
        main home and my holidayhome. The expenditure comes out of the
        same set of physical bank/credit cardaccounts, and involves
        essentially the same types (Categories) ofexpenditure -
        insurance, utility bills, maintenance, etc.One possible
        approach may be to create an hierarchy with an account for
        eachclass and with sub-accounts, sub-sub-accounts, etc.
        beneath that to replaceQuicken's categories and
        sub-categories. But that doesn't really cut itbecause, in
        Quicken, categories and classes and independent of each
        otherrather than being hierarchical, and can appear in any
        combination. If, forexample, I had 8 classes and 10
        categories, it appears that I would have tocreate upwards of
        80 'accounts' to cover all the combinations. Even then, itmay
        not achieve the desired result.At various times I may wish to
        see all expenditure associated with aparticular class
        regardless of category and, at other times, all expenditureof
        a certain type (category) regardless of class. Depending on
        which wayround the hierarchy is arranged, only one of these
        appears to be possible.Hopefully, I'm missing something, and I
        would be grateful for any pointersas to what it may be. I
        would also be grateful for any available casestudies showing
        how other people have migrated Quicken accounts - which
        useboth categories and classes - into GnuCash.Many
