Thx for your suggestions.
While possible, I'm no fan of potentialy error-prone
spreadsheet solutions.
I run accounting systems for use by others, so they need to
be simple and robust.
This weekend I shall grab a copy of Dieter's 2.7 beta and
see what report options have been added.
(Being a paid-up subscriber does have advantages beyond the
user manual! /end of plug.)
Otherwise, yes it shall need a custom solution, perhaps
similar to doctor EL's suggestion.

And thx for those clues too.
Cheers to all
