[GNC] report subaccounts totals on stacked barchart

[D.]

Mattia,

I believe you want to experiment with the Account Level setting. It controls how far down into the account hierarchy the report displays. It will total up lower level accounts into the parent if they are also selected accounts. 

Unfortunately, you can't set different levels for different types of account, as you indicated; there is one setting for the whole report.

My workaround would be to create separate reports for each "level" report, and put them side by side on a multicolumn report. 

HTH,
David T.

Subject: [GNC] report subaccounts totals on stacked barchart

Hi!

My liabilities have this (pretty common, I think) structure:

Liabilities
 |-AP
 | |- x
 | |- y
 | |- z
 |
 |-Credit Cards
 | |- Bank1
 | | |- x
 | | |- y
 | |
 | |- Bank2
 | |- Bank3
 |
 |-Loans
 | |- Bank1
 | | |- Loan1
 |
 |-Security Deposits     # this is money I'm keeping as deposit
 | |-Apartment1          # for an apartment I'm renting out
 |
 |-Tax Provision
 | |-2021
 | | |- Tax1
 | | |- Tax2
 | |
 | |-2022
 | | |- Tax
 | | |- Tax2

In this, only the leaf accounts actually contain transactions, all the
others are marked as "placeholder".

Now, I'd like to have 2 different "Liabilities barchart"s:
* one very detailed that contains all possibile stacks
* one that contains only the branch totals plus some subaccounts

I'm having troubles figuring out which options I should pick in the
report settings to get the latter.  I'd like to see a barchart
containing a stack for each of the following:
 * AP
 * Credit Cards:Bank1:x
 * Credit Cards:Bank1:y
 * Credit Cards:Bank2
 * Credit Cards:Bank3
 * Loans
 * Tax Provision:2021
 * Tax Provision:2022
Basically, I want specific stacks for all of the credit cards, but only
the total of the other categories.

Currently, if in the report account selection I pick the higher level
account, nothing is shown on the report, probably because it's not
considering the subaccounts.  If I click the "Select Children" button,
then it goes and shows all subaccounts with each subaccounts with one
stack (which is the "detailed" variant that I do want in the other
case).


I'm using gnucash 4.8, I'd be glad if anybody can show me if and how to
accomplish my goal! :)
Thank you in advance!
