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

[Larry]

Peter,
Thanks for replying.
I am still unclear about what to drop into 'standard reports'. I found my way to the end of that path,  but don't know what to do when I get there.
Do I just make a new folder called 'ytd-budget.scm'?
Do I cut and paste the whole document that Phil sent the link for?
Do I cut and paste only the part of the document that is in '()'?
Or is it something else entirely?
Sorry in don't understand programming,  so I am nervous about messing things up here.
Hoping you can walk me through this.
Larry

I use Windows 10. I simply dropped ytd-budget.scm into "C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\share\gnucash\scm\gnucash\report\standard-reports", re-started Gnucash, and the report was available in Reports, Budget.

I am new to GNUCash and I have the same issue that was raised in the above Thread (January Archive).I am running Windows10 and it appears that someone found a way to run a YTD budget report showing the difference between budget and actual. 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
