[GNC] Create Chart to Forecast Future Cash Flow

[Adrien Monteleone]

There are several charts in the Reports menu.

Also, see if the Reports > Future Scheduled Transactions Summary is 
along the lines of what you are looking for. (in a report that is)

Of course, you can always craft exactly what you want and add it as a 
custom report.

Another option is to export a report or copy/paste a report to a 
spreadsheet for further manipulation and/or graphing.

And one more: you can post future dated transactions, then craft a 
report to only use the future dates.

Finally, have you taken a look at the budget module? It has the ability 
to estimate your individual accounts based on the transaction history in 
your book. It will show you thus a projection of net income and/or you 
can run a Budget Report to compare budget to actual as needed.

Regards,
Adrien
