The reason they show up as gray is to make it obvious that you switched from looking at a current cash flow view to historic spending. This is the sum of all transactions in each bucket for the selected month so it may be exactly what you are looking to have MoneyWell display. > I guess a report that compared my spending plan to my actual expenses/ > income and also showed the difference would work for me as well.

You can get a quick view of what months were under or over for a specific bucket and then click on a month to view what transactions occurred in that month for that bucket. To remove this date filter, just click the graph background. Hovering over a graph bar gives you the actual numbers behind the visual. > Also, is there any way to export data so that I could manipulate it in > Excel if I wanted to? Yes! Just select a group of transactions, use Edit > Copy to save them to the clipboard and paste them into Excel (or Numbers or any app that takes tab-delimited data). Let me know if you have more questions please.
