I would do this by way of making a report. [I do not have Gnucash on this computer, so you are now dependent on my memory] Open the Expenses:Medical account Use the Filter option to show 1st Jan 2019 to today Make an Account Report for the displayed account. If this is exactly what I want, save the report, for which it needs its own name. When I need 2020, change the dates in the saved report and save with yet another name.
