Indeed!

So - to get the balances at the end of a period for a specific department, I'd select the period I needed in the View Transactions/ Budgets grid and click the ExcelDirect button. Then, in the Excel table, I'd Filter to excluded everything but the department I was interested in (assuming you don't have any departments on your balance sheet accounts). If your balance sheet is departmentalized, then Filter the income accounts first, then the department you need.

I think you'll find this WAY faster than tinkering with exporting either the Detail Listing or the Trial Balance.
