Hi,
What do the Total and Grand Total at the end of a Transaction Report
signify?
Please see the attachment, which shows the last few lines of a Transaction
Report. For most reports I generate, the values shown are zero, but here
both the Total and Grand Total are shown as $20.83

When I have not displayed account totals, the only account shown on a debit
or credit line is the *counterpart* of the current leg of the transaction;
so the line in the last of my four attachments that says "Checking Account"

Hi, I'm using Gnucash 4.11 on MacOS 11.6.8.
There are two images attached, labeled Transaction entry and Transaction
report. They are two different views of the same transaction, to a non
profit that I am doing the books for.
The transaction involves a deposit to our checking account from Wepay.

Hi,
I'm getting back to gnucash after a long hiatus. I'm also starting up using
Gnucash on a different computer. So I copied the Gnucash directory to
~/Documents/work/Foo/ on the new computer. (The name Foo was changed to
protect the innocent. Or is it the guilty?)

Hi,

Hi,
I'm using Gnucash 4.3 on MacOS. This version has a "Close Books" option.
I do understand that using this option, Income and Expenses can be made to
transfer to an equity subaccount (like Equity:Starting balance).
I also understand that there are alternatives to using this option, but in

Perhaps I’m wrong about this (still a neophyte) but I have the idea that
the accounting concept of reconciliation applies to external accounts.
In GC 4.3, if a transaction is imbalanced, it show up with an “Imbalance”
amount. Does this not suffice for internal account transfers?
External transact

Thank you, Micheal.
I wanted them at the top, so the following works for that:

- Parent account subtotals = Do not Show.

Gnucash 4.3 on a mac.
Why do Gnucash balance sheets print account and subaccount totals twice:
once at the beginning of each such account and again at the end?
It adds a large number of extra lines and no new information, and
balance-sheet examples from (the few) accounting books on my shelf do n
Never mind. After running the report, I could select the date in Options.

If I want to print out the trial balance of an account as of a specified
date, how (in the program) do I specify the date?
Oddly, when I just ask for the trial balance (from Reports), I get the
trial balance as of 12/31/1969. I'd have thought the default would be the
date of the last transaction.
Edit each of the top-level accounts (via the Edit button).
Add exactly the account numbers you've just shown for each account. (You
can also add numbers to the subaccounts if they need to be in a specified
order, too. but they should all share the same first digit of their
superaccounts. If you do
Hmm could that be because there were only four files stored so far in
mystery-memory because of the previous setting? What happens if you open a
fifth file, exit the program and then restart? Do you see five?

On Big Sur, I have Gnucash installed directly under /Applications, which is
the default Installer option.
I either double-click the icon, or, in a Terminal window, type "open

If you have Gnucash.app installed somewhere else, just type open /Gnucash.app. Once it opens,
