A cruicial GNUCash feature that is missing, but easy to implement for budgets

[Larry]

David,
I have tried the budget report. I have not found a way to run it for a period other than the 12 month period of my budget. That creates two problems for me.
1. The report is so wide that I can not see the account names when I look at the later months and the annual amounts.
2.  I can not easily see how I am doing vs my budget at the end of each month, that is a YTD budget vs actual.
Yes, Phil''s report seems like it would do that. Peter seems to have gotten it to work in Win10.
Is Phil''s report actually in the GNUCash code now and all I have to do is enter 'ytd-budget.scm' after 'reports double back slash' (I am writing this in my tablet and can not find a back slash) to activate it?
Larry.

Have you tried using the budget report? It includes options to display actual versus budgeted amounts. 
Or are you hoping to use the special report that Phil put together? 
If the latter, then perhaps others can get you going. My track record with that was poor.

However I don't understand how to do it. Maybe this because I have zero understanding of Programming. Can anyone explain how I can run a report like this.BTW the Trial Balance Report in Income and Expense seems to have everything you need to run this report except for a way to compare it to your Budget.Thanks,Larry
