There’s no official ’tag’ support, but some reports let you filter based on text in certain fields and you can use regular expressions if you like. > > > Does it also do that for a Transaction, Group by (sub-)account report?

I reload the report each day and it show my transactions with sub-account totals for amounts spent on Food, Beer, tips, etc. Each transaction has the festival name in the Notes field and I’m using that as a ’tag’ filter. > ++ > > Enough stalling.
