I don't really have a problem generating something similar to the above... Accounts/Accounts = Income:Dividends, Sorting/Primary Sortkey = 'account', Secondary Sortkey='none', Sorting/Show subtotals only = true, General/Dates = 'beginning-of-year' to 'today' - these options would be a good start. > I do see the option ‘Show subtotals only (hide transactional data)’ in the sorting tab (shouldn’t this belong in ‘display’?) but I don’t see an option to hide the per-account sub-totals. Hmm it could belong in 'Display' tab... this option was meant for the Sorting tab as an extension to the subtotal grouping options (especially daily date subtotals) and is currently *only* selectable if subtotals are generated, but apparently some wish to hide *everything* (and any subtotals) except the "Grand Total". How odd... This would require a few amendments to TR. If this is moved to the Display tab, it should toggle most other Display options too...
