Agreed!
I have been meaning to split my average-balance-tracker code into
and income/expense report which can summarize a given period by expense and
income category .
It shouldn't be very difficult, the basics are already there.
Also want to have it calc some kind of historical average over a large
timeframe and then
compare it with the current or most recent month...almost like budgeting.
Could have options for how much detail (depth of sub-accounts) is included.
Its all about finding time and motivation...
Cheers.
