I can no longer put it off. I entered a particular string amongst about
30-40 transactions so that I could do a 'classes-style' report that
would search for my string to find the transactions I want to report.
Reviewing the capabilities of the 'standard reports', I see that I
cannot accomplish this. But there are messages about a 'new transaction
report' from a Doug Doughty that would accomplish what I'm trying for.
So, how do I get a hold of this report? Is it something that can be
attached to an email? Is it something that can be downloaded from some
repository of custom reports? Do I have to ask Doug to send it to me?
Once I obtain it, I'll try to figure out how to install it so I can try
to use it.

There is another thread on the gnucash user maillist about a new
transaction report from Doug or Cindy Doughty with about 30 messages. I do not
know how to put a link to it while using my tablet to write this message.
Go through that thread in reverse to find the last revision.

That sound like a possibility – thanks. How do I go about finding Doug
Doughty’s new transaction report? [I am new to GnuCash and to this mailing list
– and am still at the stage of needing to satisfy myself that GnuCash will do
everything I need before I start using it in anger]. Cheers,Roger From:

would approximate categories by tagging transactions in any of the available
free-text fields - description/memo/notes. eg. tag Annual Insurance payment
with @holidayhomeThanks to Doug Doughty's new Transaction-Report you will be
able to arbitrarily report by searching these fields.But the Standard Reports
are not currently able to search similarly. On 26 March 2017 at 02:11, Roger

GnuCash,and would like some advice.I am aware that I need to create an
'account' for each 'category' inQuicken, and that's not a problem.But I also
make extensive use of 'Classes' in Quicken, and can't readily seehow to
replicate this in GnuCash. As an example, I use classes todistinguish between
expenditure associated with my main home and my holidayhome. The expenditure
comes out of the same set of physical bank/credit cardaccounts, and involves
essentially the same types (Categories) ofexpenditure - insurance, utility
bills, maintenance, etc.One possible approach may be to create an hierarchy
with an account for eachclass and with sub-accounts, sub-sub-accounts, etc.
beneath that to replaceQuicken's categories and sub-categories. But that
doesn't really cut itbecause, in Quicken, categories and classes and
independent of each otherrather than being hierarchical, and can appear in any
combination. If, forexample, I had 8 classes and 10 categories, it appears that
I would have tocreate upwards of 80 'accounts' to cover all the combinations.
Even then, itmay not achieve the desired result.At various times I may wish to
see all expenditure associated with aparticular class regardless of category
and, at other times, all expenditureof a certain type (category) regardless of
class. Depending on which wayround the hierarchy is arranged, only one of these
appears to be possible.Hopefully, I'm missing something, and I would be
grateful for any pointersas to what it may be. I would also be grateful for any
available casestudies showing how other people have migrated Quicken accounts -
which useboth categories and classes - into GnuCash.Many thanks,Roger
