Well within the regular register there's no mechanism for inputting, e.g. $40 electricity paid and have the system allocate among splits according to a formula.
There's however a mechanism for inputting in a Scheduled Transaction (known as SX), e.g. let's say 50% use is personal and 50% is business, the SX template will be: - Assets:Bank (Credit Formula) -billamount - Expense:Personal:Electricity (Debit Formula) (billamount/2) - Expense:Business:Electricity (Debit Formula) (billamount/2) or more complex business splits ... which can pop up a periodic query for the billamount, and is then apportioned appropriately. But as a new user it's usually best to avoid these formula-type shortcuts.
