[GNC] New question: designating classes for expenses.

True, not out of the box, but this is a long-standing wish-list item of 
many a thread here.

For now, it appears this is possible by running separate Transaction 
Reports, one for Revenue, one for Expenses, and then moving those 
results to a spreadsheet and finishing it off there.

That isn't painless, but it is doable.

A 'classified' Balance Sheet can be had by similar means.

I've tried to do this in 'one go' via a multi-column report, but I 
haven't figured out the right incantation of clicks yet---yet...

Both are possible using built-in reports with very detailed Charts of 
Accounts, but as mentioned, that can be more painful in some situations 
and becomes impractical for fairly transient 'classes'.

Regards,
Adrien
