Ed,

You can include more than one account in the Cash Flow report, perhaps 
add your CreditCard account as well? (assuming you have detailed 
transaction data)

I don't know if you can include the mortgage accounts or not, but 
there's no harm in trying.

Another option might be the Transaction Report. It is highly 
customizable. It may not end up in quite the form you want, but you can 
include any accounts and filter according to just about any criteria. If 
the final form isn't to your liking, export that result to a spreadsheet 
and manipulate further from there. With a little effort, you can 
probably set up a bit of automation to massage a future report to your 
liking with a few clicks.

Regards,
Adrien
