Peter,
Apologies if any of that came across in a negative way.
I've sent another reply, with screenshots, trying to help you get close
to what you showed in your example.
There isn't a single report that shows a running balance of all
transactions between two dates among any selection of more than one account.
Certainly, as you have a use for it, others might too.
The best place to request such a report (or modification of the
Transaction Report) is to file a 'bug' at bugs.gnucash.org with the
title starting with 'RFE - ' which is Request For Enhancement.
While bugs are usually tackled by the devs first of course, some RFEs
either aren't hard to implement, or might interest a developer enough to
give it a shot.
Regards,
Adrien

The term is Print 'dialog'. I attached a screenshot illustrating the
location of the export function.
Across the top is the app menu, containing sub-menus. Print is not one
of them. (Print is however a function in the File menu, which brings up
the Print dialog.)
This terminology is clearly used and the menus fully described, along
with where each function is in each menu in the Manual.
In my most recent response in this subthread, I did not claim my
terminology was correct; I simply asked what you would call it.
That aside, yes, I figured you were referring to the Print Dialog
(rather than a menu) and no, the option to Export is not there. Why
would you expect it to be? That dialog is for *printing*. (and for a
report, not the book, at that.)
I was printing a report,.
You *can* 'print to file' on any report, but that is just storing the
report in its same form, outside of GnuCash.
Yes, of course.
I don't find the formatting of this particular report to be user-friendly
and I was suggesting alternatives that I thought might be more friendly to
other users as well, and I gave an example of what another program does,
which I think GC would benefit by making possible.
Exporting creates a CSV directly, which can either then be processed by
scripts or other apps, or opened in a Spreadsheet app.
Thanks. I did know that. I will live with what GC currently prints out,
though I do think it is sub-optimal.
