Scheduled Transactions: Variable Utility Bills

[Dan Paulat]

I am trying to migrate from Quicken to GnuCash for projecting account
balances.  So far, I am using scheduled transactions, and posting them
several months early to get a forecast.  This works great for fixed
bills such as car payments, cable bill, etc., but not so much for my
electric bill, which can vary anywhere from $60-$400 seasonally.
Quicken had the option to estimate a variable payment based on the
time of year, and I believe used the previous year's bill of the same
month to calculate approximately how much I will owe.  Are there any
good ways of doing this in GnuCash?

Thanks in advance!
