Suppose I have the following accounts in Gnucash:

Assets
    Bank A
        Risky account, $1000
        Non-risky account, $2000
    Bank B
        Risky account, $5000
        Non-risky account, $7000

I can easily display a report with breakdown of assets by banks: 

Bank B: $12000 (80%)
Bank A: $3000 (20%)

But how can I make a report like this:

Risky accounts: $6000 (40%)
Non-risky accounts: $9000 (60%)

?

In other words, I'd like to see what percent of assets are in one group of accounts, and what percent are in another group.

Of course, I can change the tree of accounts, but what I need is to breakdown the assets by various such 'trees'. It's like a faceted search, aggregating by various criteria.

  • This really isn't a personal finance question so much as a technical support question. Moving to a site where you might have better luck. – JohnFx Apr 09 '14 at 02:37

As far as I know, there is no way to create "groups" of accounts in Gnucash.

However, it is possible (with some work) to create a custom report which might be able to do something like this.

  • Thank you for the answer. It seems quite hard to create a custom report. I wish somebody had a code of a custom report for the task I need. I think I'll first try other reporting tools from here: http://superuser.com/questions/739389/gnucash-how-to-convert-a-huge-xml-data-file-into-sqlite/739390?noredirect=1 – Dennis Golomazov Apr 10 '14 at 02:49
