No, you misunderstood what I meant by setting the CoA properly. You are 
asking for a report involving  ACCOUNT BALANCES where only some of the 
transactions in that account are included. IF you want that, it means 
the CoA was structured incorrectly for your purposes, that your one 
account should have been a parent account with two children, one for the 
transactions you wanted included and one for the rest  (or as many 
children as needed).

You are trying to mimic "tagging" where transactions can be heaped 
together in one account but later LOGICALLY segregated into several 
accounts. Effectively giving you multiple versions of the CoA.
