[GNC] Problems with Budget

[Adrien Monteleone]

Peter,

You copied the list which is the important part. While you included me, I only get the list copy. (that used to not happen, I think a mailman bug or setting was fixed) On that note, please *DO NOT* e-mail me only (and not the list) concerning GnuCash questions unless invited to do so. The wiki covers this etiquette question. Certainly, not getting a prompt reply is no cause for such action, and it isn’t likely to get you a faster response. Everyone is a volunteer here. I’m just a user like you that occasionally helps others on the list where I can. I’m not part of the development team—and they’d prefer you use the list.

To your question, check your settings for the budget. I’ve encountered something similar in the recent past (and posted a thread about it) and it took me some time to track it down. It hinged on the setting for ’same week and day’.

It caused me to see results which didn’t seem to take into account transactions posted in a particular period because they weren’t directly comparable across periods of different lengths. (the setting ’normalizes’ period lengths so you aren’t comparing a 28 day month to a 31 day month) If you have this enabled, uncheck it and see if this resolves your dilemma. Otherwise, I can’t say I have a solution for you.

Regards,
Adrien
