Glad to hear it worked out! And thanks for reporting back with details.

Others may have need for that report if you don't mind sharing, and if you think it is general enough. I think you can attach Scheme files here, but if not, posting a link to a file hosting site works too.

(I'm not certain if it has been created, but there was some past discussion about a user-repository for custom reports for people to share. The wiki may have more info on this as well. I haven't checked in a while.)

Regards,
Adrien

Wow, that was simple.

Everybody seems to be mortified of playing with the reports, but it took me 
under 15 minutes, counting reading the documentation and installing my code 
editor of choice (VSCode), which wasn't on this machine yet.

Helpful things to know (although they are easy to discover anyway):

- Everything in the GnuCash reports menu, including the Hello World example, is 
"live" in the GnuCash install dir. See 
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports#Where_to_find_existing_reports
- Simply doing a default install of VSCode and adding a Scheme plugin is all 
that's needed. Then open / edit / save the .scm file and you can run your 
modified report.
- Scheme files are interpreted: there's no need for any build, change the .scm 
file and run the report.

That's it.
