Re: [GNC] Style Sheets - general questions
Interesting. I haven’t looked at the standard inline report CSS lately, so I didn’t realize there was a background specified. How is it interfering with adding columns in LO Calc? I’ll offer this: I always select the entire sheet (clicking that empty cell in both row/column headers) and remove *all* styling. Then I style the way I want. Templates can be employed and applied with a click or so if you desire. That would remove said background color, though I agree it shouldn’t be there. (neither should a foreground color) Those properties should be inherited from ‘default’ or specified by the user if they don’t like ‘default’.

Re: [GNC] Style Sheets - general questions
I’ll add that extensive work is currently being done on many reports to improve them. (you can see some of these efforts in Reports > Experimental) But think of the GnuCash reports as getting you the basic form, and then if you want something different, export to spreadsheet and manipulate further to your liking.

Re: [GNC] Style Sheets - general questions
You don’t even have to export to CSV. You can ’save’ the report which will be HTML formatted and open it in a spreadsheet app, or just copy/paste to a spreadsheet. If your are having issues with pagination/line-breaks, that is the way to go. There are some issues (especially on MacOS) with the version of Webkit which renders the reports that affect pagination. You *could* use the experimental all-CSS stylesheet, and tweak to your hearts content, but even then, you might have some issues. It is, for now, much faster and easier to just move the report to a spreadsheet and manipulate from there for printing pretty. The advantage is you also have the option of adding things like variance and percentage columns that aren’t easy to do with the standard reports. (you’d have to re-write them, using Scheme) Regards, Adrien > On Jun 18, 2020 w25d170, at 5:31 PM, w...@theprescotts.com wrote: > > Scott, > > Like you I have used GnuCash for personal use for years and now am using it > for an organization I belong to.

[GNC] Style Sheets - general questions
I was really pleased to be pointed to opening HTML reports directly in LO Calc last month. I can see CSS is very versatile but I'm not proficient with it. Hopefully someone can contribute a quick guide for GnuCash reports at some stage. I'd be happy with just turning off the white background because the main thing I do is add extra columns. ___ 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.

Re: [GNC] Style Sheets - general questions
Scott, Like you I have used GnuCash for personal use for years and now am using it for an organization I belong to. I didn't like the appearance of the standard reports. Instead of trying to customize them, I just export the transactions as a csv file and open in Apple's Numbers spreadsheet program. From there it is quick and easy to copy them to some standard spreadsheets that I use in my reports. Because the csv file contains columns with the account names it is very easy to sort them by account and or date. In fact the organize function in Numbers does a good job of breaking them up by account. Certainly, not the only way to solve the problem, but it is a method that has worked for me.

Re: [GNC] Disappearing entries
Are you, by chance, using the “Import transactions from CSV” capability to update your accounts? If so, you should be aware that sometimes the transaction matched is one that has already been reconciled, so it appears that the transaction has been added when, in fact, it has updated a previously reconciled transaction, replaced it as a “cleared” transaction, and then rereconciles it, leaving the account showing a missing transaction. ___ 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.

Re: [GNC] Disappearing entries
Well, as it was supposed to happen, all worked out well. Just changed
the biggest file or the one named below to some generic file name. It
works fineso far.
Thanks, all,

Hard to say how bad this is. I'd start with the newest data file (by modificatio
n date) that does NOT include the 14-digit timestamp, and see what was there. Th
at may or may not be the file named "GC January 12 2019.gnucash". More likely it
's newer ("GC January 15 2020.gnucash", for example).
You would then be able to tell how many different times you opened a backup by s
eeing how many log files were created after that last file. Working on a spare c
opy of that last file, you could try running the log files dated afterward to re
create the work. This may or may not work, depending on whether you changed the
account structure. If it works, great. If not, you'll have to recreate the trans
actions manually.
I avoid this problem by only having one simply named basic data file in my data
directory (in my case, "accounts.gnucash"). Backups and dated storage copies get
placed in remote folders to keep the idiot from screwing things up (which he is
very good at!).

Re: [GNC] New Bill: Bill ID vs Billing ID
Thanks to all for responding to this. For now we have decided to make up our own definitions for the two fields... Bill ID: we leave it blank so GnuCash auto numbers it for us. Billing ID: we enter the Vendor's Bill number aka their "Invoice" number. If the vendor does not put an Invoice Number on their Bill to us then we enter the vendor's initials plus the due month and year like... gdJun20 for a GoDaddy bill due June, 2020 Thanks again for all the response to this OP.

This boils down to "naming is hard". When you send out an Invoice to a customer you have your invoice number on it, but the customer may want something on it (like a PO#). When you receive a Bill from a vendor it will have their invoice# on it, but you might want your own counter for it. This is why there are two cases. These numbers are irrespective of due dates. > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 de...@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant ___ 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.

The only technical difference between regular lines and total lines is that the latter is in bold. Try checking your font for bold symbol?
