[GNC] Budget Question and stylesheet question

Thu Jan 9 14:10:43 EST 2025

Brad,

I am unclear on the potential issues you point to.

1. Manually entered data. There is very little data in the file yet as it
is only January (I did not bring forward any data from previous years).
Will data entered into accounts affect the budget? I don't think so. I
entered my budget manually and it calculated accurately in the rows, with
the monthly amounts being totalled to a yearly amount at the right end of
the table. However the columns were not filled (populated) at the bottom of
each column (Income, Expenses, Transfer and Remaining to Budget). This
never happened before in 2.6.15.

2. Version of GnuCash. I started new in the latest version 5.10 in Windows
11.

3. The data file. As noted above the file was started in 5.10, nothing was
imported.

I suppose this could be a bug, but if it is I would have expected someone
else to note it before now. Therefore I think there must be something I
missed in setting up the budget that so that it will populate the column
(i.e. monthly) totals.

Below is a screenshot of my Budget.

Any help is appreciated,

TIA,

Larry
