David, GnuCash can show you the balance of a parent account as two different things on reports and in the CoA: 1. Actual balance of the account (sum of debits and credits in that one account) 2. The sum of the balances of each of the child accounts (what Derek called ‘roll-up’) Running/rolling

Derek, If what you call a rolling balance is what I call a running balance, then I think that the account register view will show that when it is sorted in chronological order. In fact, as others have already noted, you can see that in your top level accounts. Where you won't see it is in mixed

Thanks David, Bruce and Adrien, Using account numbers in the name field is great.  I can sort on the numbers and get my accounts to look the same as in Simply Accounting.   Adrien's tip about the edit/options/display feature in income accounts allows me to get exactly what I had before.  It ju

If you mean you want to roll up the sub-accounts into the parent, then go to Options > Display > Parent account balances: and set it to “Subtotal” instead of “Account Balance” Note, you should also not have any transactions in that parent account and set it to being a placeholder. If you don’t

Richard, I do not know if importing accounts from CSV of from QIF will bring in account numbers, but they can be assigned with the account editor. If they are not showing on the Accounts window you may need to select the field from the down arrow on the far right. Sub-Accounts should nest under
