  The Average Balance report would seem to have merit in my mind, such as tracking a portfolio over time, but I decided to test it to see what it's capable of.  In my testing, I found it can be rmostly eplicated by using the Net Worth linechart graph (most significant difference is you can't show only the assets line, and it's a line chart instead of a bar chart).  The Average Balance report has the downside of taking about 15-20 minutes to run and generate the initial report versus the minute or so for the Net Worth linechart graphic.  So, while I think the average balance report has it's uses, I don't think it's a great report to use.  If it were to be improved, I don't know if I would relegate it to the extra menu, or merge it entirely with the Net Worth line charts.

Thanks,Matt

 Hi,

I'm looking at https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773198
This bug proposes to remove a number of reports from the reports menu on the 
assumption these reports are primarily demo's of what can be achieved in 
gnucash, but have limited actual value. This is about the following reports:

Average Balance
Expenses vs. Day of Week
Income vs. Day of Week
Sample Report with Examples

Instead of completely removing them I plan to move them to a separate 
"Examples" sub menu (the former "Sample & Custom" menu) and hide this menu by 
default. It could be made visible by running gnucash with the '--extra' 
command line switch.

If you are actively using any of these reports please let us know which ones 
and also how these reports benefit you in practice.

Regards,

Geert
