Re: [GNC] How to split an existing account into two sub-accounts?
As for 'moving' some of the transactions in the original to its new sibling - simply change the transfer account for those transactions. They will disappear from the working register and appear in the register for the sibling.

You're thinking about it in a very strange way. 1. Make an account at the same level. 2. Make that account the parent of the account you talk about "splitting". How do I do that? I tried drag of the account I want to become a sub-account but that didn't work. OK, I've got it, it's in the 'Edit Account' you can select the parent account. 3. Make another account at the same level. Thank you, job done! :-) Yep that's right, edit account and select parent. To avoid spamming the list it might be worth spending a few minutes trying things yourself before asking simple questions and if you're really stuck then ask.
