The exponent is always there even if it’s not displayed, and floating point
fails even with 0.1. It’s not possible to exactly represent that in floating
point. That’s OK for math where you’re dealing with “significant digits”. As

Adrien,
Thanks for the quick response. However, I'm still stumped. You are
referring to the General tab of the "Budget Report" pop-up window that
appears when you hit the Options button when the report is open - right?

Rob,
The options for the budget report do allow you to choose which periods you want
to report for. (at least as of v3.2)
Look at the General tab starting with the Range checkbox.
You could say, run the report for July, August, September (Q3) add the Total
and Difference columns (from the Disp
I've created a budget by month, and want to produce a budget vs actual
report for "year to date" (accumulated). The default report has each month
in a separate column and shows the whole year. The Options pop-up does not
include a way to modify the dates for the report. I've looked at the file

I’ll try it. Thx.

It's also much MUCH easier to enter them based on payment method instead
of based on store. You probabl

Make sure to enter them in chronological order... Then this wont happen.
Or group them together.

Jack,
Consider the practice of always entering your transactions in the register the
money is coming from. (A credit to either an asset such as Checking or
liability such as a credit card)
This way, one side of the transaction will always be the same. (in that
register)
Then your autocomplete
That sounds likely then, since I am entering random receipt activities over
a weeks period of time. No way to change that I suppose?

What are the post dates of the transactions?
The auto fill, IIRC, uses the most recent post date, not necessarily the
most recently entered.
So if you have a future transaction, or a more recent one (by post date)
that will take precidence over your more recently entered txn.

It seems the auto input in this field is inconsistent - at least in the way
I use it. Following examples from today:
In Account - Checking:
I enter Walmart in Description, Tab Right, and Transfer (don't understand
the naming convention) field auto-fills EXPENSES-GROCERIES. I click on the

correction: floating point fails with irrational numbers too.

I did not know "decimal format" was synonymous with floating point. I need
to see the exponent to think floating point. I think of decimal as simply a
way to print out numbers on paper or computer screens, not a computation
method. I definitely agree that floating point computations always have
