Lorrie,

I've seen this problem in GnuCash 2.6; I don't know whether it has changed in 3.x:

Make sure that you have only one account of type Expense and one account of type Asset at the top level of your accounts. If you have more than one, then the budget function doesn't work as you've described.

You can check this by going to the Accounts tab, right-clicking (in Windows, might be different on a Mac?) on each top-level account, and selecting "Edit Account". This will open an options window for the account. The account type is at the lower left.

Hope that helps.

Hi all,

I created a 12 -period 2019 budget and entered child-level expenses and
income.

The expenses have a total in the spreadsheet but are not showing up at the
bottom of the spreadsheet. Expenses still display as "0".

What am I missing?
