[GNC] How to create a Chronological Income Report subtotaled by Payee?

[Deva PS]

Hi Tom,

You can try the transaction report. On the Sorting tab in report options, you can set primary total by Description and Secondary Total by Date. Assuming your nomenclature on Description for Bank A/B/C are consistent, it should get you close to what you want.

Cheers.
