   Sorry, I replied to Derek only and I meant to include the list.

   Subject: Re: [GNC] Creating a customer report by location

     I am a freelance translator in the UK with clients all over the
     world. In applying for advice and grants from a local government-run
     business support agency they want to know the proportion of my sales
     to local (county) customers, to the wider UK and as “exports”.

   Location by country for me would be sufficient (I don’t yet have any
   clients in my actual locality).

   In fact, for my purposes, a custom text field with A, B, C, D or E
   would be sufficient.

   I hope this helps and would love it if someone could come up with
   something.

   Many thanks for any pointers

   Samantha

   Hi Samantha,
   As far as I know, there is no report like that.  Indeed, I can't even
   think of a way that you could collate customers by location within
   GnuCash.  Are you thinking by State?  By Zip Code?  By some other
   means?
   Once you figure that out, then one could write a routine that sorted
   and
   collated based on that.  But to my knowledge, no such thing exists.
   I'm curious what your actual use-case is here?

     No, not unnoticed, but I do not use business features, so I waited

     if a business user would step up.

     GnuCash has no geographical data feature to use for such a report.
     You

     would have to somehow manually add appropriate information in a text

     field,

     but reports generally only have rudimentary sorting  on text fields,
     so

     maybe at best you could come up with a manually implemented zip code

     scheme.

     Short answer, no.

       Is this not possible, or has this request slipped through
