New Topic ... Threaded Discussions

While I am immensely impressed with the speed and diligence shown
in these messages (particularly to new unskilled members) I do
wonder whether there is not much better software for
topic discussions where each thread has its
original title and the discussion of
each topic is separate using
dated messages, and
author names in
a clear format.

The message board systems I've encountered have this extra clarity.
Are there no free ones?

Isn't creating 13 monthly reports a somewhat labour intensive
way of creating what could be a single report for 12 months
plus the total for the year?

Multi column reports methodology?

2018-02-09 Thread Roger Hatton
 Is there a simple way to generate a 13 column Profit and Loss
and a 13 column Balance Sheet showing monthly movements?

My apology if this question has been asked often before but
being new I can't see the answer to what I hope is a simple
question, with one menu item to action these two reports?

Is there also a cumulative monthly balance sheet function
over 12 columns (no 13th Column needed)?

With thanks and congratulations on an interesting system.

Re separate ledgers (books?) for new entities would
you be kind enough to show the menu steps (being new

Does GNU Cash support more than one entity?
In other words separate ledgers for separate business names?
Using the one single downloaded GNU Cash system?
Process advice appreciated.
