I am creating an income vs expenses budget, inputting my monthly values for
July to December 2020.
The total cumulative running value for Expenses is not changing as expenses
are added to the month of July for all expenses. For example...
- $60 - gas
- $60 - phone
- $1500 - rent
- and so on
The total monthly expenses should be about $2400 however it is not
increasing over the value of say, the rent, ignoring the other monthly
expenses.
I tried estimating the expenses and that ignored the rent, entirely, the
largest of my expenses.
Here are my questions but #1 is the most pressing.
1. How do I get a total monthly expense value for all expenses?
2. Is there not a feature to autofill or drag the monthly values, say
$60 for phone, into all months? Otherwise copy and paste are so error-prone
and time-consuming.
3. How are 1-time payments for a time period handled? Examples are
insurance paid once per six months.
4. Can the Column of the budget not be adjusted by inputting a width
value like a column in a spreadsheet? Grabbing and pulling the column is
not exact and the width changes with the browser window width requiring
constant fiddling.
5. How do I remove specific expenses from the list of expenses under the
Expenses top-level account? I don't want to see expenses listed where I
will have a zero value.
Thank you,
Lorrie
