Remember that you can set up “Child” accounts, for example... Expenses:Housing:Utilities Expenses:Housing:Rent Expenses:Housing:Repairs …which would allow you to generate separate reports from each Child separately or in any combination - it all depends on how granular you want your reports. You could also split the Utilities into Expenses:Housing:Utilities:Gas, Expenses:Housing:Utiliities:Electrity etc if you want to go that far. When you’re setting this up, it’s probably better to overdo the granularity, because it’s less trouble to merge two children than to separate the (say) Gas and Electricity transactions, if you change your mind later.
