Hi Adrian, What I suggested was negative credits. I have sometimes accidentally ended up with similar situations when I have made a mistake with a complex split. With my current setup, the negative amounts show up in red with a minus sign. However, if other vacation expenses were not also

Is there a reason not to use the latest v3.8? I’d try that and see if you still get a crash. If so, check the wiki about obtaining the necessary logs on the Windows platform for reporting a crash on Bugzilla. Regards, Adrien > On Jan 28, 2020 w5d28, at 5:02 PM, Alan Schold wrote: > > I am

I’m in agreement with Stan here. I too setup a separate 'Travel' placeholder account with children for different items such as transportation, food, lodging, etc. If I really want to see how much I spent on fuel for any purposes, I just include the relevant accounts on one report. Another

I had a similar question a while back and the solution was to use sub-accounts. In this case I would try the following and see how it works for you: Expenses:Vehicle:Gasoline Expenses:Vehicle:Gasoline:Vacation Then make sure that E:V:G is not a placeholder account so you can enter transactions
