> I've read that using other softwares one can benefit from "category" to better filter the information you want and create reports
One of the workarounds previously discussed is to add a tag [ie category] to the split notes, it's just under the description in the account register. A transaction report can be run using a filter to show or exclude transactions with these tags, even if other notes are added with the tag. I don't think the other reports support filtering, presumably because they don't allow transactions to be displayed. There is no support for grouping (ie display all transactions in tag groups). There is a demo.csv based on the GnuCash Guide tutorial at http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/attachments/20210718/2f60caee/attachment.obj which can be imported and used for testing. Prefix the split note with #share for rent and electricity and #work for internet and phone to test. Re David Cousens https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2022-February/099809.html I disagree to some extent. Tag is about the least descriptive term for tag/class/category/dimension. Tags could be supported now by adding the ability to filter to all reports, especially since most reports are based on the same (income statement??) report. Adding tag grouping would really enhance report functionality. When tags are added to another field I suppose they adopt the meaning "to deface with graffiti". It would be handy to optionally filter them out of the notes field in reports. I agree GnuCash contains a relational database and it should be easy enough to add a field to the splits table or link a dimensions table. A separate field would require adjusting the user interface but using a field instead of a non-indexed filter would have almost no impact on the efficiency of existing GnuCash functionality. Bayesian matching is the wrong approach. LibreOffice calc does a good job of predicting cell contents on-the-fly based on field use in other records. > _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
