Well, in that case it should work out of the box like this:
C:\BUDGET>"C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\gnucash-cli" -R run --name
"68827f48ea584054a227fbf7591a2b1b" --output-file "C:\Temp\BS.html"
mybudget.gnucash
NOTE that in this case, because I have multiple Balance Sheet reports,
I had to specify the report name using its GUID as I encountered an
error when I used: -R run --name "Balance Sheet", however the error
message kindly gave me the GUID.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Geoff

Hello Jeff, I am au courant with Python (le Python c'est bon!) Thank
you for that suggestion, I will give it a try.
To be clear, all of the date filtering combinations that I tried were
part of the saved report configurations, I was not trying to provide any
parameters via command line other than to run the saved report as-is.

Hi William
Based on my interpretation of the gnucash-cli --help text, and this
Reddit forum post, I don't think that it is possible to pass date
parameters to reports from the command line.

If you are au courant with Python you could probably achieve a
transaction list for a custom date range fairly easily using PieCash:

Good luck!
