Tracking cash

[Rob Cussons]

Thanks some very useful and quick responses.

I have the current assets parent, but I don't want all of those accounts
as, for example, they contain things like Childcare voucher balance which I
can't easily retrieve the cash from. Also I don't have liabilities split
into current and long term (I maybe should).

The balance sheet gives what I want for now, but I would like a monthly
view on a particular date in a month preferably in the form of a graph over
the last year. Is there a way to achieve that in gnucash, or would I have
to pull the balance sheet data into excel?

Thanks,
Rob.
