Hi Robin The documentation is not comprehensive yet. The export-type argument refers to the *report-specific* export types available, rather than PDF/XLS/DOC etc. Report-specific exports are rather sparse; currently only the following exist:
Income and GST Statement: CSV Tax Schedule Report & TXF Export: TXF Tax Report & XML Export (in German only): XML To export "Income and GST Statement" CSV, you'd need to customize the report options, save into "Saved Report Configurations" eg. "My GST", then run as follows. I cannot assist with the tax reports. $ gnucash-cli --report run --name "My GST" --export-type CSV --output-file gst.csv datafile.gnucash outputs the following into gst.csv "from","01/04/20" "to","30/06/20" "Gross Sales",220.0 "Net Sales",200.0 "Tax on Sales",20.0 "Gross Purchases",110.0 "Net Purchases",100.0 "Tax on Purchases",10.0 On Sat, 18 Jul 2020 at 02:52, Robin Chattopadhyay <robinra...@gmail.com> wrote: > In the release notes and the help page, the documentation lists > 'export-type' as an option and the example cites html as an export type > option.
