4. Select the relevant start and end dates that you wish to report on.
5. **Group by account code** - if you select **No** it will list each transaction individually. If you select **Yes** it produces a summary of totals by account code.
    1. There are special circumstances where it can be helpful to create duplicate account codes in infoodle - typically to achieve different default templates of Gift Aid (UK sites only) settings. This setting allows you to combine these to a single summary value or broken down by the individual codes. If you Group by Account Code is set to **Yes** you can choose to set **Summarise duplicate codes** or not and also to set **Group by Tracking category** or not. 
6. If you choose to not Group by Account Code you have the option to set **Break list by whether receipted or not**.
7. Set **Totals by User** is required.
8. Select a **Campaign**, a group, **Location** or **Bank account** if required.
9. Select **Generate** to display the report on the screen or select Generate as Excel or Generate as CASV to produce and download an Excel spreadsheet or CSV file.

The numbers here should, for the most part, match your accounts, particularly if you use Xero.
