This is more of a user question and should have been asked on
gnucash-user.  (The gnucash-devel list is more about gnucash
development, unless you're implying that you're trying to *write* the
report?)

GnuCash does have a "multi-column" report, but what it does is let you
run multiple individual reports side-by-side, which might not be exactly
what you want because the rows wont necessarily line up.  If you want a
try "multi-column" report with lined-up rows I'm afraid GnuCash has no
such thing at this time.  Even though it's an often-requested feature,
nobody has donated such a work and none of the active devs have had the
time to explore it.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Good Luck,
