With the budget report, you have to select the following (under report options) to make this work:'Include collapsed periods before selected', 'Show Budget', 'Show Actual', 'Show Difference', and 'Show Column with Totals'. I actually force myself to look at the current period (quarter), current

Hello, Thank you for the response. You are correct that that was the original question. As far as I know, no one has yet offered a solution. Someone did offer an alternative approach, but it would still be helpful for me if there is a way to copy the entire column without doing it one entry at a

I don't think the original question has been addressed--did I miss the answer? I understood the question to be "is there a way to copy an entire column of budget values?" Whether it's a month at a time, in a 12 month period, or two weeks at a time in a quarter, if you have several expense

I’ve said it before: I dislike bottom posting because I have to scroll through everything that has been written on the thread just to get to the single pithy comment that is new. This is especially annoying when attempting to read email on a small screen. I will admit that I prefer bottom

Un-quoted top posting without nested levels is certainly quite the pain, I agree. I’ve seen some examples of it here lately. > On Jan 12, 2019, at 10:28 AM, Stephen M. Butler wrote: > > I have always enjoyed the following example of top posting: > > A: Because it messes up the order in which

Ok, thanks. Yes, I'd always appreciated that about top-posting - not having to scroll to the bottom. I'd just recalled in the past having used mailing lists that didn't allow it. Thanks, Patrick >Personal preference. > >For example, depending on the nature of the conversation, (like for multiple

Personal preference. For example, depending on the nature of the conversation, (like for multiple points/questions to discuss) I’ll use in-line, but I usually use top posting, as in this case. While I see it occasionally, bottom-posting is the least used in these parts as it means you have to

Andre, Thanks for the advice. This definitely gives me some possible alternatives to consider. I am not able to find a page that gives the etiquette rules for this mailing list. Is top-posting preferred on this list? I noticed that some people do and some don't. Thanks, Patrick On Fri, Jan 11,

Patrick, The method that I use for budgeting is well "old-fashioned". My salary is paid every fifteen days and my wife once a month, hence the two-week setup, and the quarterly view because in my prior career we managed our P monthly but with quarterly plans so mentally I am kind of used to that

Andre, Thank you for the response. For each two-week period within the quarter, did you just have to copy the budget entries from each column to the next? That is what I would like to avoid, if possible. I would like to use one budget so that it is easy to see carryover from one budget period to
