[GNC] Total and Grand Total at the end of a Transaction Report

[Adrien Monteleone]

Peter,

Apologies if any of that came across in a negative way.

I've sent another reply, with screenshots, trying to help you get close 
to what you showed in your example.

There isn't a single report that shows a running balance of all 
transactions between two dates among any selection of more than one account.

Certainly, as you have a use for it, others might too.

The best place to request such a report (or modification of the 
Transaction Report) is to file a 'bug' at bugs.gnucash.org with the 
title starting with 'RFE - ' which is Request For Enhancement.

While bugs are usually tackled by the devs first of course, some RFEs 
either aren't hard to implement, or might interest a developer enough to 
give it a shot.

Regards,
Adrien
