Thank you for the suggestion about General Journal.

I like the way the Account Report is formatted; namely, in "hanging
paragraphs" with the first split, only, labeled with the Description. This
makes it easy to discern the boundaries between transactions.

Funny, the way to do that with the Transaction Report is to switch to Options > Display > Detail level > 'One split per line'. Now, for each account, the split for that account will be first, with the others indented.

You can certainly do this with more than one account, but it might get a bit messy overall as transactions will be repeated in each account section where they have splits.

You'll have to play with the display options and the General tab for sorting to get something you like. (you can leave the Options window open and click Apply each time till you're happy with it, then save the report configuration)


But when I ask for running balances, *Reports>Account Report* only shows
them for the first account in each transaction and the balances are all
shown as zero. The report is labeled Transaction Report. (Even the ledger
obtained shown from Tools>General Journal shows zero running balances.)

Yes, the General Journal and its Account Report will show zero balances, because a balance here would be non-sensical.

Another option entirely would be to play with exporting your transactions to CSV and opening in a Spreadsheet or other app.

Also, note there is an Account Summary Report which shows the balance in all accounts. (by default. You can change this to a subset, as well as the date of the balances.)

Adrien
