Reports shows total revenue not net income

Good morning, All reports shows total revenue vs net income. Is there a way that a report can show the net income. When I printed out my reports and compared it to the total bank deposits I was off and I figured out that my total bank income was less that what the reporting showed.  I figured it

What do you mean by 'nothing happened'? Were you able to see both of the currencies in the price database? Have you entered any daily prices manually? Are you using GnuCah release 2.6.16? Which currency is your default? David C On Wed, May 17, 2017 at 12:45 AM, Oleg Linkin wrote: > Hello. I

I have experimented further after reading your post DaveC49. In my case, I am keeping the data file on a remote server and I see that the .log file grows as I edit my data, but the modified time stays at the time created for some reason. I also set GnuCash to ask me before doing an auto-save and

Martijn, Not sure what you mean by ‘all reports’ as there are plenty of reports which don’t show either. If you mean the P&L or Income Statement, then yes, total revenue and total expenses will be shown, with the net profit or loss listed at the bottom. It seems though your question is more ge

Robert, I will note two points about the page to which you refer: 1) this page is a section of the wiki that contains an old, *non-current* draft of the User Guide which was created in 2007, and, 2) the section that you quote is, I believe, intended as as proposal to improve the lots features (
