ok so turning that off (also) changes the buckets completely. sorry i dont agree w that methodology - whether or not the total is shown - the money allocation remains the same... but if i show totals rather than breakdown amounts it assigns the money wrong. (i am referring to the 'unhiden' optional of hide vs show split totals...the hidden option is off already) 3 buckets - 100, 30, 50 - total amount of cheque is 180 if i show totals - 180 goes to fuel - rest of buckets are blank if i turn off show totals - 100 fuel, 50 cable, 30 internet
I have verified this - i selected the fuel bucket - w/ show split total selected - it shows 180 in the fuel w/ Hide split totals in effect - fuel bucket shows 100. sorry but i think regardless of 'view' data should not change - 'view' is a view - not a movement of funds from one bucket to another... i sent you screen shots. mary lou v 1.4.2.
