Hi, I just had not scrolled down far enough. If you deselect Include Collapsed Periods then you get the report for just the month that you selected with the accumulated totals to the end of that month. In that case the report seems fine. I am not sure there is a bug. To get the equivalent of Phil

Possibly. I see that I filed it while using 5.3. I don't recall exactly, but it might be in the Experimental folder, but I'm uncertain. Regards, Adrien On 12/4/23 10:29 PM, larry johnston wrote: In ver 4.14 I don't see any other options than Range Start and Range End, maybe Collapsed Periods

Hi, I finally got back to this as I try to prepare for my year end. As you report in your Bug Report 799046 it does not seem possible to display a single period in the Budget Report using the Use Accumulated Totals feature, which is quite frustrating. I have only upgraded to ver 4.14 and in that

You should be able to get close. You can see monthly periods, you can 'use accumulated totals' for each month as they progress. (YTD) You can show a yearly 'Totals' column set. For each set (period & total) you can see Budget, Actual, and Variance columns. I don't think it is exactly just 1

I think we will stay in 4.14 for now. We found the 'use accumulated totals' function under budget reports and it gives us the basic information we need. In Phil's old YTD report you could have a nine column report that showed the current month, YTD and to the end of year, with the budgetted amoun

Good to know that you made it to 4.14. As for which version of 5.x to land on, that's up to you. Some folks aren't keen on the changes to the auto-fill for the Description field. (I like it personally) There were certainly kinks in 5.0 and 5.1 in that regard, It seems they have been fixed in

That sounds like the preferences didn't migrate. We had to change the GSettings schema from org.gnucash to org.gnucash.GnuCash to get preferences to work correctly in flatpak. We did that change in GnuCash 4.7, and there's a function that's supposed to transfer your preferences to the new schema

That looks like GnuCash thought it wasn't opening your file, but starting a new book. How did you 'start' GnuCash *exactly* after the 4.14 install? Also note, you can click Cancel on that first screen, or if it doesn't show again, and you just get a blank app with either no book or a new empt

We started the upgrade process from 2.6.15. The upgrade from 2.6.15 to 2.6.21 and from 2.6.21 to 3.11 seemed to go ok but the upgrade from 3.11 to 4.14 sees to have hit a snag.
