Yes - so if I need to know how much I spend on one of my professional fees, I'll add search terms for date (previous tax year), the 'Non-reimbursed Job expense' account, and the name of the specific professional society.
Or if I need to know about car maintenance, I can search for the dates & the car maintenance account, then manually add up the items of maintenance that correspond to each car. Like I say, it works, but it's not very efficient!

I have to do a form for my accountant every year which includes how much I spent on particular categories - petrol, internet, charity x/y/z, etc etc - over the previous tax year. At the moment I'm manually doing a search for each item (date posted before/after the right dates, in this account, with this description), then do an account report on the resulting list to get the total. It works but is long-winded. It seems like there should be an easier way of doing things. Am I missing anything obvious - is there a specific report that will give me what I need? Is there a way to set up some pre-saved searches that I can run each year as a batch, but just tweaking the year? Or is there a way to nest searches so that I do a search for all transactions within the given time period, then run a secondary search for the particular account/description within that, to avoid having to continually re-search on the same dates? I know I can refine a current search, but the results replace the original search rather than opening in a new tab.
