Subject: Re: [GNC] Help with using formula in NUM field of Scheduled 
Transactions Adrian,No, you cannot create a scheduled transaction with a 
formula in the Num field. There is no direct workaround. The simplest thing to 
do would be to schedule the transaction without the Num field entry and 
manually update the created transaction each time. You need only select the Num 
field in the transaction, type + to insert the next number, and <enter> to 
commit the edit.Otherwise you’d need to program the insertion with either the 
python bindings or with an external access library like PyCash.Regards,John
