reports without decimals?

[Trizi]

I'm finding this divergence in comprehension peculiar … just goes to show
that the Chinese Whisper Game works in print too!  
	
No one is asking for a change to rounding in the transactions.  What I - and
the others - are looking for is /on a report./  Not in the transactions.

I'll give you a concrete example - the balance sheet report.

*What we want is this: *
	1. Put your transactions in - decimals and all - this is fine just the way
Gnucash does it.
	2. Run the Balance Sheet report.  Let's pretend  Cash = $23,233.45. 
	3. Select Options --> set rounding & decimal places to "0"  /(this is the
functionality that is missing)./  
	4. See the report with all the decimals rounded and no dollars and cents.
So it becomes  Cash = $23,233

	• another comment attempting to put the discussion back on track (see
comment 2 below) and 
	• my comment, also attempting to get back on point (see comment 3 below) .  
	
*Comment 1*
	Hi all, 
	
	I'm trying my chance again (…)
	Does anyone know how to tweak the options when generating any kind of 
	*reports *so that we don't have the double decimal displayed for every 
	accounts. 
	
	Thanks in advance for your help. 
	
	Best regards, 
	
	Martin.

	Hi Mike, 
	I agree with you that there is no need to fudge around with decimals in
the 
	account.  That said,* I'm just talking about report generation* - report
that 
	would be just for my own sake or the one of my accountant. 
	Thanks for sharing your experience with rounding issues.... very useful! 
	Best 
	Martin
