Flywire, I've been around GnuCash for over 20 years.
The addition of Quicken classes (the mechanism most commonly cited as the means to multidimensional reporting) has been requested regularly *over that entire period.* I am unaware of anyone having has falsely offered anything on this front. Some users have offered other means to achieve some multidimensional functionality using embedded text or account hierarchies-- but no one has ever presented those as anything other than workarounds for the situation. Furthermore, in all that time, literally no one has offered to add the functionality to the program. Are you offering now? David T.
