Hi Gio, Not sure you can set the reconcile column to 'R' manually. If I have an issue like I've updated a previously reconciled txn and it's changed the indicator to 'C' for instance I just re-run the reconciliation with the last used date and balance and when the reconciliation window displays t

If you don’t have one this time, make a habit in the future of saving a copy of your datafile as a backup before each reconcile. Then rolling that back is as simple as opening the backup instead of the current file. Of course, that would be complicated by anything you enter between reconciling
