there are neat tricks documented all over the place. https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-help/trans-edit.html OK, that link doesn't explicitly say "click in the number cell and press the - key" but one has to assume a certain level of computer savvy from a user who has written a bespoke database system and is thinking of using a spreadsheet rather than GC. So GC permits you to click in a cell to edit it. just like pretty much any other box-based data entry program. You've been told that you recorded a transfer of $15 between 2 accounts when it should have been a transfer the opposite way (ie -15) If you are in basic ledger view, as Adrian had earlier suggested you try, what is such a radical trick about clicking in the number field and pressing - to swap the direction of the money flow? ( Granted, If you are still in GL view, you have to "click & press" twice (once for each split) - though when every purchase transaction is to the same expense account, GL or even auto-split view seems overkill anyway, IMHO). I think this level of editing a transaction is covered in the docs, assuming you've entered a few transactions and somewhat got the hang of clicking around in a new program's interface first. $Flames > /dev/null Maf _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
