I consider it a serious problem that average "end user"s can't do it, let
alone – as you say – that analysts/programmers have a hard time with it.
It's certainly not impossible, or even that hard, really.  But it *should* be
easy, and it's not right now.

See <http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports> for details.
