Re: [GNC] Report Generation problem

From a strictly mechanical point of view, what David suggests will get the job done. (A similar option is exporting the report as HTML and then editing the HTML.) But I don't understand how the OP can present a "balance sheet" that doesn't actually balance. That's the inevitable result of simply d

Off the top of my head, copy the entire report, paste it into a spreadsheet, and delete the offending entries. ⁣David T.​ On Jan 24, 2025, 11:25 PM, at 11:25 PM, Colin Penner wrote: >I want to switch from Quicken to Gnu-Cash. The only problem that I have >is that Gnu-Cash Balance Sheet report

Hi Joe, Welcome to Gnucash. What are your PC's Region settings set to - Australia ? If so you should be able to go to Gnucash preferences and select locale as your default currency (Edit menu, select Preferences >> Accounts >> Default Currency and select "Locale . AUD (Australian Dollar) whic

I want to switch from Quicken to Gnu-Cash. The only problem that I have is that Gnu-Cash Balance Sheet reports include a line of either "Retained Earnings" or "Retained Liabilities". For my requirements I MUST eliminate both of these lines. Is there any way that this can be accomplished? The Doc

Michael, Sure, but I was under the impression that OP wanted to open the same data file on both machines. Closing the books and rendering the opening balances in the other version won't allow them to see all their data. ⁣David T. ​ On Jan 24, 2025, 5:18 PM, at 5:18 PM, Michael or Penny Novac

To get rid of the Retained Earning from your report, just edit the report options and deselect all income and expense accounts. I agree that the Retained Earning in GNC for most individual users doesn't make much sense since we are not dealing with net operating income or stock dividends.  The

Indeed, without the Retained Earnings line, the book won't be balanced.  In QuickBooks (I assume it would be the same in Quickens) when displaying a balance sheet, a Net Income line (calculated during runtime) is included under Equity, so the book will always be balanced.   It is essentially ha

Here is a bit of a left field answer: Why not try PCLinuxOS? You can download a copy & install it on a bootable USB stick (or similar). Once booted, you can load GnuCash from the repository & try it. The current version in the repository is 5.10. Then if the W10 Gnucash file is readable, you coul
