Thanks for the suggestion but that doesn't work. All variations offered 
in "Report variation" have no effect on the depreciation value.

I have also changed over to the flatpak version on GNUCash. Hadn't 
realised the Ubunutu version was so far out of date.

Now running:

Version: 5.12
Build ID: Flathub 5.12-1
Finance: Quote: 1.66
