I didn't know about the ability to use variables in scheduled transactions. That is a great tip that I may take advantage of, although at the moment it doesn't seem like it saves a whole lot of effort over just leaving variable amounts blank and filling them in when the amount becomes known. As

Just to keep them separate, I would use usd_amount and chf_amount for the variables. I kind of ignore the currency exchange rate... I enter everything as USD because I live in America, and my bank accounts and credit cards are in USD. So, if I have a euro transaction, I may enter it with a guess,

That's the horizontal scroll bar. The vertical (what I'm guessing the OP is referring to, though it wasn't specified) should always be visible. Even in a register with only one transaction, I can see it, though the indicator takes up the entire height as there is nothing to scroll. If the vert

You might try using one or more variables in a scheduled transaction and it will prompt you for the variable amount(s) when it creates the transaction. SO for example, if you put the letters "amount" (without quotation marks) in the credit AND debit portions of the scheduled transaction template,

Jim, The scrollbar only appears when there is a column that won't fit in the width of the register window. If it is not appearing and there is some text hidden in any column, that column's width may benefit from adjustment. On Wed, Jul 3, 2024, 11:34 AM Adrien Monteleone < adrien.montele...@l

If the OP did assign both sides to the same account, once as the base account and once as the transfer account, they would need to revise the mapping and re-save the configuration and carefully "fix" all the transfers in the matching step, possibly more than once until GnuCash 'remembers' the prope

When I was on BigSur, I was also on an older version of GnuCash, so I can't say exactly how the new one would work, but I don't presently see any issues with 5.7 on Monterey. I do recall some issues with older versions of GnuCash on some systems not showing it though. Perhaps looking over close

You can leave the amount blank on the scheduled transactions. Just put in the lines for the accounts. It will create the transactions on schedule and you just have to fill in the amount when you have it. I'm not sure if that is helpful. Best wishes, Will On 3 Jul 2024, at 6:08, rsbrux via gnuc
