[GNC] generating a report for a single transaction type repeated in one account

[Ed]

   Great - thanks for the prompt and on-target response!  I've used Ctrl-F
   on many occasions but just didn't know that the "Search Results" tab
   could then be turned into a Report so easily.

   Ed,
   You are right, it is simple. In fact, you almost gave away the answer
   in your question.   Start by selecting the desired account register.
   Then use the Find function (Ctrl-F) to find all the transactions that
   meet your desired criteria.  If you want to limit it to a certain time
   range choose Filter by...
   Finally Choose Reports > Account report.  Voila!

        Gnufriends,
        I'm trying to get a report from Gnucash that will display (and
     produce
        a sum of) all instances of a particular transaction in a single
        account. For example, I want to go to my checking account and see
     all
        instances of "payroll" - a repeated transaction that takes place
        more-or-less on the same day every month going back several
     years.
        I suspect that there's a relatively simple way to do this (?) but
     I
        don't know which Report Type to select ("Transaction"?) and how
     to
        create a filter that will select only those transactions that
     have
        "Payroll" in the description.
        Thanks for any help you can provide!
        Ed
