Hi Mike,

That's a nice new feature.
I've tested your new Advanced Portfolio report.

For me it is not totally helpful as most of my dividend income transactions
are split into further sub-accounts for either:
1) Jointly held stocks where income is split between my wife and myself
and/or
2) Income is split into Franked and Unfranked sub-accounts

so these transactions do not meet the requirement of having just 2 splits.
I can see that it would be helpful to others who don't do this.

It still correctly includes income when there IS a dummy transaction to the 
stock account.

As expected, it does NOT include income when there is NOT a dummy
transaction 
to the stock account AND income is split because of above reasons.

If you have finished this mod, shall I update the GnuCash Help Manual?

Thanks for your efforts,

Regards,
Chris Good
