GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 92502
Total is inaccurate when running register report with a set date range
Last modified: 2018-06-29 20:17:12 UTC
Open any checking account or bank type register and set a date range using register/date range/set date range from the menu. Check the balance at the bottom, it will be the balance in the register on the last date of the range. Using the same date range get a report using register/report. The Total at the bottom of the report is NOT the available balance on that day. It does not take into account the balance prior to the range when doing the math.
If you click on the options for the report, in the "Display" tab there should be an option for "Running Balance". Enabling this should give you the numbers you want. I've updated 1.8 and CVS to enable this option by default, and relabelled the "Total" line to be "Net Change".
