when you're used to quicken's /classes

[Jeff Abrahamson]

I'm working on converting to gnucash.

One of the stumbling blocks I haven't quite figured out is how gc
deals with what quicken conceptually thinks of as classes (essentially
an orthogonal accounting method).

As an example, suppose I keep track of lodging, dining, and travel
expenses, but I also want to keep track of when those expenses are
incurred for work, everyday life, or vacation purposes. Quicken solves
this with clases, so I get a 3x3 grid.

Imagine that this is nxm so it's not as easy to solve by making a
whole lot of accounts.

A more practical example is that I own real estate, and keep track of
various items (rent, landscaping, repairs, etc.) for each apartment,
but would like to be able to easily aggregate them to see how I'm
doing in toto.

I'd appreciate any pointers on how to think of this and do this in gc.

Tia.
