Budget reporting for a time interval

[Edward Doolittle]

I've been missing that functionality too. The only suggestion I can make is
to download the budget report into a spreadsheet and calculate the desired
information that way. The raw data can be dumped into sheet 2 and all the
calculations can be made in sheet 1, say, so that new data can just
overwrite the contents of sheet 2 for an update.
