Thanks - it looks as though that's what I'm after, but the totals don't add
up.  For example I did my search & it found 3 entries for £102.50 each.  For
each entry there was £102.50 going out of my debit or credit card account,
and £102.50 going in to the groceries account.  This should give a total of
£307.50.  But total debits = £205, total credits = £102.50 & Net change =
£102.50.

Have I misunderstood something?
