Re: [GNC] Budget Question and stylesheet question
I think Larry did not change the Windows Locale setting of his PC, rather he changed the GnuCash "Default Currency" setting from "Locale" (which was USD) to "Choose" (where he chose CAD). So I don't think there is any need to reboot.

Re: [GNC] Budget Question and stylesheet question
Hi, Thanks to everyone for their insights. I was in error when I said that I had reset it to Locale/Canadian$. When I set it to Locale it still stayed at US$. We live close to the US border so maybe it thinks we are in the US. I changed it to Choose/CAN$ and it now populates the monthly columns. It still shows $C to the right in the yearly totals.

Larry, Just for clarity this is what my Preference settings look like - so Locale is selected and it is picking up AUD from my pc settings. I did get around to checking this on one of my Win 11 pc's with the same expected result as Win 10. Cheers David H.

Re: [GNC] Budget Question and stylesheet question
Hi, I went back and checked preferences and Accounts was set to Locale but showed US$. I changed it to C$ and that did not affect the Budget. I have now set it to Locale and $C and the dialog box says it will affect all future actions, still no effect on the Budget. I guess I need to check all of my accounts now to ensure they are consistent. That is probably a task for th weekend.

Re: [GNC] Budget Question and stylesheet question
David, Thanks for your insights. When I started my Chart of Accounts, I thought I had set it to C$ but it was in US$ an dI had to go back and change them to C$. Maybe I missed one or two of them. I was not aware of the Locale option. Where would I find it and would it change all of my accounts or do I have to apply it individually? Larry PS I copied the list with this, I hope that is ok with you.

Re: [GNC] Budget Question and stylesheet question
Hi, I checked my 2.6.15 on my old computer and the C$ symbol is not there. I do not remember doing anything to specifically set C$ for the budget. I wonder why it is only in the right hand totals and not in all the budget items. I did set it for my Chart of Accounts and that is also the case in 2.6.15.

Re: [GNC] Budget Question and stylesheet question
Yes, that is what I mean. I looked at the screenshot you posted, and I notice that the total column entries on the right of the budget show the totals in C$. No idea whether that could be an issue, but I'd like to know how you made that happen. My budgets don't display any currency indicators. (I'm on an older version of GnuCash, that could also be the reason why I don't see it.)

Re: [GNC] Budget Question and stylesheet question
Hi, To be clear, when you say more than one top level Asset account, you mean that there are two Asset accounts at the top of the Chart of Accounts. I have Assets and nested under that Cash, TFSA. RRIF etc. and under each of those the actual bank accounts etc. The same with Expenses, Income etc. So that does not seem to be the issue.

Re: [GNC] Budget Question and stylesheet question
I have seen the budget issue happen when there is more than one top-level Asset or Expense account in the book. It may occur with other account types as well, but I haven't tested those scenarios.

Re: [GNC] Budget Question and stylesheet question
Hi Larry/GnuCash users, There may be a few potential issues involved: - the data (which you mentioned that you entered manually) - the version of GnuCash - the data file (which might depend on which version of GnuCash that data file was started with, which is slightly separate from the data itself and the version of GnuCash) https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Installation#Upgrading & https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Using_Different_Versions.2C_Up_And_Downgrade are some resources on what to do when upgrading. --- Thanks, Brad - https://www.facebook.com/brad.morrison.12327/ & https://norcal.social/@BradMorrison On 2025-01-08 20:15, larry johnston wrote: > Hi, > > I did not upgrade, I started new on a new machine.

Re: [GNC] Budget Question and stylesheet question
Hi, I have gone through a couple years of the list without finding an answer to my questions. My companion who is running 4.14 on a Windows 11 computer ran into a similar problem with her budget. her expenses were not populating in the monthly totals at the bottom of the budget. It turns out that she had entered zeros in some of her place holder accounts. Once she cleared those lines the monthly totals populated correctly. I can't find any similar problem in my budget. Any help is appreciated.
