Percentage transaction splitting

Post by kiwibloke »

Hi,
Firstly many thanks to the developers, I have only been using MMEX for a few weeks and managed to get to grips with most of the features and it has definitely cleaned up my home accounts.
I have a question about splitting transactions. I am running Version: 1.8.0 64-bit on Windows 10.
My goal for UK tax reporting is to be able to automatically split various expenses by percentage between the following categories:
Home: Subcategory
Business 1:Subcategory
Business 2:Subcategory

For example, the total monthly energy transaction for the house is split into three categories:
Home: Energy bill 33%
Business 1: Energy bill 33%
Business 2: Energy bill 33%

Please note I have many other splitting examples where I need to split a transaction equally into three categories or two categories.

The amount each month for energy usually varies, therefore an automatic percentage calculation would be required whenever I import the monthly bank CSV statement.
I cannot see a current feature in transaction splitting that allows me to do this unless I am missing something.
The only other solution I can see is to do the split calculation in reporting however it seem logical that the functionality should be in the split transaction window dialogue.

Kind regards
James

As you can see, your problem is not important for other users.
Perhaps you would have had more success if you had placed your contribution under "Feature Request" or in Github, because as I understand you want an implementation of an extra request and not a discussion about it.
