Hi Deva

Thanks for feedback.

Charts were planned but not quite finished.

Period Average is actually present in the Transaction Report. Select 
either Asset/Liability accounts, or Income/Expense accounts, (or both). 
 From sorting tab, select Primary-Key = account-name, Secondary-Key = 
date, secondary-subtotal = month, Display / Subtotal table = enabled.

You'll find monthly subtotals per account in the subtotal table.

I know “Period Totals” doesn’t make sense for the balance sheet version, but I was wondering if you can show “Period Average” instead, in the balance sheet report. While I can see how my son's financial standing is changing by looking at his assets month after month, it will be nice to know what is needed on a monthly average basis, so I can plan for next year’s funding accordingly. It will also help me analyse which month’s he is going over/under average.
