I have top level accounts Banks and Credit Cards. Under Banks I have sub-accounts Checking and Money Fund. Under Credit Cards I have sub-accounts Discover, Master Card, and Visa.
I may pay phone charges from any of these sub-accounts, recording the entries under the Transfer account Expenses:Telephone. At year end I want a transaction report on Expenses:Telephone. I do the following: - Select the Accounts tab, then Reports>Transaction Report - Click Edit report options in the Transaction Report tab - On the Account tab, Expand the Bank and Credit Card accounts and use Ctrl^Click to select the Checking, Money Fund, Discover, Master Card, and Visa sub-accounts. Select Filter Type> Include Transaction... and select the Bank and Credit Card sub-accounts again in the Filter by box. - On the Filter tab, enter :Telephone in the Account Name Filter - On the General tab I select Start and End of Previous Year, as I am reporting on 2019. The report returns no data, as shown below: ----- Telephone Transaction Report: No accounts selected This report requires accounts to be selected in the report options. Edit report options Display / Account Code : Enabled Display / Other Account Name : Enabled Accounts / Filter By... : RMBT Checking, RMBT Money Fund, Discover, Master Card, Visa Accounts / Accounts : RMBT Checking, RMBT Money Fund, Discover, Master Card, Visa Accounts / Filter Type : include General / End Date : relative . end-prev-year General / Report name : Telephone Transaction Report General / Start Date : relative . start-prev-year Filter / Account Name Filter : :Telephone ----- I can obtain the data I want in a round-about way by turning off Account>Filter Type and Filter> Account Name and sorting on Other Account Name. Expenses:Telephone will subtotal in the report that covers all transactions for the year. The report parameters are: Display / Account Code : Enabled Display / Other Account Name : Enabled Display / Use Full Other Account Name : Enabled Sorting / Secondary Key : none Sorting / Primary Key : corresponding-acc-name Accounts / Accounts : RMBT Checking, RMBT Money Fund, Discover, Master Card, Visa General / End Date : relative . end-prev-year General / Report name : Telephone Transaction Report General / Start Date : relative . start-prev-year If I add the Filter>Account Name ':Telephone" to this report, I get no data. What am I doing wrong? -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
