[GNC] Monthly budget report question (display total for the difference in each row for selected periods)

[Steve Miller]

Thanks Jim for the reply.

I use a combined weekly and monthly budget report.  The screenshot you
provided for your budget options are the same ones I see... see my snippet.

As I now look at my combined weekly/monthly report, I now see to the very
right, 3 columns that provide the budget total for the selected row, the
total actual number for the selected row, and the total difference.  See
the attached snippet.  This is EXACTLY what I wanted to see all along...
I've no idea why previously I was only seeing a column for the budget
totals for a row (e.g. and not also totals for the difference and actual
for the row).  .So color me clueless how I got "here", but apparently my
issue is resolved.  I'll save this report quickly so I don't lose it...

Thanks for the reach out.
