To reduce confusion, multiperiod balance reports using -H/--historical or --cumulative, which show end balances, no longer show a Totals column since summing end balances generally doesn't make sense. Also the underlying MultiBalanceReport now returns zero for those totals when in cumulative or historical mode.

balancesheet, bs
This command displays a simple balance sheet, showing historical ending
balances of asset and liability accounts (ignoring any report begin
date). It assumes that these accounts are under a top-level
asset or liability account (case insensitive,
plural forms also allowed).
Note this report shows all account balances with normal positive sign (like conventional financial statements, unlike balance/print/register) (experimental).

With a reporting interval, multiple
columns will be shown, one for each report period. As with multicolumn balance reports, you
can alter the report mode with
--change/--cumulative/--historical.
Normally balancesheet shows historical ending balances, which is what
you need for a balance sheet; note this means it ignores report begin
dates (and -T/--row-total, since summing end balances
generally does not make sense).
This command also supports output destination and output format selection.
