I think we will stay in 4.14 for now. We found the 'use accumulated totals' function under budget reports and it gives us the basic information we need.
In Phil's old YTD report you could have a nine column report that showed the current month, YTD and to the end of year, with the budgetted amount, amount soent and the difference. That way you could see how you did vs your budget in the month and year to date and how much you had left to spend to the year end. I haven't been able to replicate that. Do you know if it is possible, or do you have any hints?
