Reporting - Option to include zero-balance accounts in the Trial Balance

The TB in Xero does not show lines that have a nil balance, however, you may need to drill down on a line that has a nil balance but may have have transactions (such as a control account). Could an option be added to the trial balance that would allow it to be displayed either with or without the nil balances?

    This is so basic and would enhance the functionality of Xero. Currently the export format is inconsistent as accounts have/have-not got data.

    Please make this apparently simple enhancement available ASAP.

    SUGGESTION = under "MORE" in the T/Balance screen include a new field - "Include accounts with zero balances".

    This first got proposed in 2014 - please can we have an update on this very fundamental control ?

    Fully agree - this is a very basic feature that is essential for system mapping. Has anyone come up with a workaround solution? I have been trying without success.

    You should be able to download into excel a full trial balance list of accounts plus balance at chosen date - even if NIL.
    This is a basic requirement to automate any download mapping, even Sage provides this basic requirement. Please amend to allow this asap. It would save me two to three hours a month.

    When working with excel, it is easier to work with a known set of accounts that having the order change each time.
