I have been using Quicken for my finances for some years, but I want to change, and I like what I have read about Gnu Cash. I’ve had enough experience with double-entry book-keeping systems to know what it means. Would it be feasible to use my closing balances from Quicken, at, say, Dec 31 2

Welcome to the discussion! So if I understand correctly, you have written scripts to automate the use of extra accounts to track allocated money? That was the line I was going down too (except building them into GNUCash), but Chris Lam’s discussion on “Budget transactions” is starting to look t

Hi Bruce! Have you established your account hierarchy? The budget view should mirror your normal account hierarchy and allow you to enter values against each time period. So when you say ‘no cells’, do you mean you can see the accounts on the left and the periods along the top? Additionally, d
