Year to date budgeting report

[Pelton, Brian]

One alternative to writing reports using the gnucash reporting language
is to export the data.

For instance, I wrote a utility to take a gnucash file and export it to
MSAccess.  (Yes, not the most impressive choice, but it works).  Doing
that lets me write reports as I need them in MSAccess.

I believe there are some export utilities available for gnucash, but as
far as I know, nothing from within GnuCash itself.  If there is
interest, I could try to polish up my utility for use by the general
public.  (It is written in C#, so Windows users primarily although mono
might allow Linux users)

Define "create"

It's just a Simple Matter of Programming to create any report.
The reporting language is Turing Complete so you could make it
do anything you want.  See http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports
