Hi Jeff, There is no view right now that graphs an overview of all the buckets at one time, you have to select each bucket to see how you have spent on the Cash Flow Graph. Alternate graph views are coming in future releases. Peace, Kevin Hoctor ke...@nothirst.com No Thirst Software LLChttp://nothirst.comhttp://kevinhoctor.blogspot.com I am looking forward to the alternative graph views that your are developing. Even something as simple as a summary of all expense buckets to the right of the Expense label would be good.

Jeff, You do know that if you select more than one bucket, the graph changes to reflect the sum of those buckets. This may not be exactly what you want but it can be handy (What is my spending trend for these three utility buckets?).

I am looking for a sum of the allocated amounts still available to spend from all expense buckets. If at the end of a month that amount is negative, I know that I have overspent, and that flowing money between buckets cannot solve the problem. This is not a huge deal, but it would be convenient.

I am looking for a sum of the allocated amounts still available to spend from all expense buckets. If at the end of a month that amount is negative, I know that I have overspent, and that flowing money between buckets cannot solve the problem. That sounds like the Buckets Balance figure which is displayed in the text at the bottom of the window (at the end). This is the sum of all buckets, including income buckets – but if everything is allocated, that might work for you... --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups No Thirst Software User Forum group.
