Help with modifying Budget Report

[ChrisW]

Thanks Josh,

That got me started and...
I now have a report that does what I want (although scheme made my head
hurt!)

I did struggle to find the gnc: functions to use. Is there anywhere
these are documented?

I have attached my report in case anyone else should find it useful.

Cheers
ChrisW
