GnuCash

To go into a little more depth here: Gnucash does NOT have a corollary to the Quicken/QuickBooks "Class".

If you are seeking that functionality, you need to set up your account structure to support it. Take a look at the thread that starts in http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2009-March/028868.html -- especially the later messages, where users describe using sub-accounts to "classify" their transactions.


Once you have your accounts set up for this, you can (as the others note) create reports that slice and dice the data as you need it.

Many coming from the Quicken realm ask about implementing classes in Gnucash. They are not a feature of Gnucash--although I am sure that the developer team would welcome having someone send in code for that functionality.

Cheers,
David

Yes.  You can create reports for virtually any account you want. It all depends on how YOU assign transactions to their accounts.
