Balances showing in a report
Mikos
Why isn't the balance an option as a column to show in a report?

Probably because "balance" is a calculated figure, not a stored figure, and the Balance associated with any particular transaction in the account will change with the sort order of the account.
Click on any column header to view this phenomenon.

What type of report would you expect to see a "balance" for? If you run a Net Worth report, the values for each account
are
the current balances. Same for the Accounts Summary report.
But for a report of transactions or summary by category, for example, there is no "balance" -- just a total of the income and/or expenses matching the report criteria (selected dates, categories, accounts, etc.)
Balances are for accounts; totals are for income and expenses.
