New Budget Report

[Phil Longstaff]

Ben,

what is in your advanced budget report?  I ask because I distributed an advanced 
budget report via e-mail recently.  It provided 3 sets of columns:  1) current 
month, 2) YTD, 3) full year and for each set of columns, 
budget/actual/difference.  I found it to be much more useful than the regular 
budget report.  If we are going to have multiple "Advanced Budget" reports, life 
will get tricky unless we can find a way to distinguish them.

Dear Ben,

thanks for the interesting update. I was trying to run your report with the 
most recent 2.4.0, but had to change a few lines until it was loaded correctly 
at start-up. The changed file is attached.

However, when trying to run the report I still run into plenty of Scheme 
errors (below). Hence, the report in the current form probably cannot be used 
with gnucash-2.4.0. If you feel inclined to fix those bugs, I would happily 
include it into SVN so that it can go into the next release, but currently 
this doesn't quite work.

Also, I suggest to submit your contributions as "enhancement request" in 
bugzilla http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Bugzilla with the file attached, because 
that way, your contribution doesn't get lost just as your 2008 email to 
gnucash-devel did...

Best Regards,

Christian
