[GNC] RUNNING BALANCES

[Adrien Monteleone]

I have noticed it, and that was exactly what I wanted, the balance of 
the *account* as of those transactions, that is, a 'balance forward' 
type situation at the beginning.

To be clear, you want a running balance of the transactions, starting 
from zero, not the actual account balance as of those transactions?

There might be a way to get it fiddling with various reports or 
settings, but if you can't find it or it doesn't exist, you can always 
export to a spreadsheet (leaving that column off initially) and popping 
in a Balance column filled with the proper formula.

A really bad idea, but doable, would be to create a reversing 
transaction the date before your filter to zero the account. Just don't 
forget to remove it when you are done! (maybe assign it to Imbalance or 
Orphan so it will stand out)

Regards,
Adrien
