Hi Elmar >From the default Transaction Report, choose:
Accounts/Accounts: select the Expenses:Discretionary:Travel, click 'Select children' which will select Expenses:Discretionary:Travel:Lodging etc Sorting/Primary Key: Date Sorting/Primary Subtotal: none Sorting/Secondary Key: Description or Sorting/Primary Key: Description Sorting/Secondary Key: Date Sorting/Secondary Subtotal: none Good luck! Next release 2.7 onwards will have arbitrary string searching.
