[GNC] Monthly budget report question (display total for the difference in each row for selected periods)

[Jim Passmore]

Hi Steve,
I'm actually a little puzzled.  When I look at available options, I see one
checkbox (on the report options "Display" tab) for "Show Column With
Totals", and it shows the totals of whatever columns I'm seeing in the
monthly columns.  There are also checkboxes for budget, actual, and
difference, but if they are selected and show in the monthly columns, they
show in the totals.  I have no Total-specific options for
budget/actual/diff.

To confirm, you're going to the Reports menu and selecting Budget | Budget
Report?  Do you see the same options I do in the attached screenshot?
