[GNC] New user looking for some reporting help

[R Losey]

I used Quicken, not QB, but I also became fed up with Quicken and Intuit
that I changed to GnuCash and haven't missed it a bit.

I really like GnuCash -- but the reports are not as out-of-the-box as they
are with Quicken; you usually have to tweak things to get them to work. I
don't remember what the  Balance and P&L reports showed in Quicken... what
I wanted is what I've spent, per month, and average to check against my
budget, and I think some kind person here told me about the Transaction
Report, which did what I needed.

I wish you the very best in your GnuCash experience!
