I'm getting used to GnuCash and playing around with reports too. I just looked at the Transaction Report and under the display tab I don't see the option to tick "Account Balance" as you suggest. I'm running V5.1 on Windows but surely the report options should be the same across all platforms?

Try the Transaction Report.

Select your desired bank account in *Accounts / Accounts*
Ensure the *Display / Account Balance* is ticked.
Select your desired time period in *General / Start-End Date*

The balance column *will* show the balance at start, and the end balance.

I need to present our PCC/Church accounts to the PCC (Parochial Church
Council) three or four times a year.  Every time I do this I struggle
to find a report which simply shows the bank balance at the start of
the period, where money came in from, where money went out to and the
resulting final balance in the bank account.

Am I missing something obvious or is there really no way of showing
this?  It's what the layman (i.e. members of the PCC) want to see.

Further to this I also always get bitten by having to select the
'start of year' and 'end of year' almost every time I run a report,
these dates seem to get reset frequently.

Also, it seems like every time I ask for a report, it tells me 'no
accounts selected' and I have to go through the same old rigmarole
that I have done many, many times before of selecting all accounts.
Surely the default should be to include all accounts and also surely
the setting should be remembered.


I know I've been here before and probably have asked similar questions
but I do find it rather frustrating at times.
