Adjusted book balance not matching statement

I have reconciled my bank accounts and the correct totals are showing with a zero adjustment required in the reconciliation window. Since this is back work (2022) I am working forward and the balance sheet at Jan 1 2022 is not showing the correct statement balance in the Bank account - it is reflecting an Adjusted book balance which encompasses all the uncleared transactions. How do I fix this or will it all be fixed once 2022 is completely reconciled?

    The balance sheet at Jan 1 2022 SHOULD include all uncleared transactions that originated up to and including Jan 1 2022.  For example:

    Balance on bank statement = $1,500.

    Cheque issued December 31, 2021, $500.  Not cleared as of Jan 1, 2022.  Balance sheet should show $1,000  ($1,500 per bank minus $500 spent that the bank doesn't know about).  You can think of the balance sheet as showing how much money you actually had available for new spending on that date.
