Again, all fine and dandy as these amounts are for the period since day one.• When I open the "Sales" ledger account it is blank no matter what I enter in Edit > Preferences > Accounting Period. What is going on?I am using GnuCash Version 3.11 Build ID: 3.11+(2020-06-26) on my Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS OS.--Regards, Larry

That's because the Sales account is a placeholder, the actual transactions are in the three sub accounts. You can get a consolidated view by right-clicking and picking Open SubAccounts from the context menu.
