Excel might be a problem, but LibreOffice has no issues either opening saved 
GnuCash reports, or importing them as plain text. (copy/paste also works) The 
only issue with doing comparative P&L’s in a spreadsheet is that each period 
needs to have all accounts visible so things line up easily, otherwise you’ll 
have lots of formatting to do.

And how would an account summary be the easiest way to accomplish a P&L? (you’d 
have to run one for each and every account) There’s already a P&L report and 
you can set whatever date range you like.

I don’t think so. You have to create a budget, but I’m pretty sure you don’t 
have to populate it to get actuals to be visible. I tried this not long ago.

Perhaps I’m thinking of something different, but I can run a budget report 
using just parent accounts and get monthly amounts. Could you provide an 
example of what you are looking for?
