[GNC] Balance Sheet and Win Loose Statement

[D.]

I believe one can set the date for the balance sheet using options, and that would be how I handled that. I'd assume that getting these numbers for past years (say, for 2010) would be a one time process, assuming that your 2010 books wouldn't change any more, once they are complete. Once derived, they could be written down, printed, or otherwise captured in final form for future reference, so I don't see why you're looking to introduce a new level of complexity to the process. 

As for your ideas about python functions, I don't work with gnucash at that level, so I'll let someone else try and answer whether such functions exist (but I doubt they do).

Hi,

> Perhaps you might explain further what precisely you're trying to do, and why. If I wanted to see the data in a Balance Sheet or a Profit & Loss Statement, I'd just run those reports from the menu. Further, if I needed to manipulate the information more, I'd probably copy and paste the contents into a spreadsheet and work on that. Why use python at all? 

Now I go to Reports > Balance Sheet and see the Balance after give the 
year. But I want make some statistics and its hard ever change the year. 

Assets + Liabilities are the same sum so this sum is what I need.

Same for Income statement only need NET INCOME thats all.
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_statement

I have read gnucash work with python maybe there is libary where
can do like:

./python_gnucash 2010 "Balance Sheet Sum"
./python_gnucash 2010 "Income statement NET INCOME"

So is my idea would make easier, when can handle the complete
Income Statement / Balance Sheet is great but at end only need the sum!

Regards & Thank you
Silvio
