[GNC] Budget Report Date question

[Adrien Monteleone]

I've run this report quite a bit in the past, but have been derelict in 
my budgeting lately.

I just ran it as a test.

Yes, it shows the start of the budgeting period.

That seems pretty normal to me, especially if you are showing multiple 
periods. It makes sense to show when the budget period begins. An ending 
date doesn't tell you much. (*when* do you start implementing the 
budget??) Budgeting is more of a thing you begin, and maybe revise and 
start again as of another date.

If you don't care for this, as noted by Stan, export to spreadsheet and 
adjust the date, or just format that cell as a date and have it only 
show the name of the month. Either would accomplish the goal.

If you'd prefer to script it, the report is just HTML when you 
save/export it, so that should be rather easy.

Regards,
Adrien
