I used same category for income and expenses, how to solve?

Post by mmguy »

I only now realized that it is suggested to use one category for income and another for expense. There are some cases where I used the same category for both.

How can I find such type of transactions and correct them? Is there a way to do this?

Also I would like to suggest that the MMEX may warn the user with a warning if it realizes that the same category is being used for income and expense!

general reports might help if you can write some sqlite query.

In All Transactions, open the "View Transaction Report" box.
Select the category you want to change, and the type (withdrawal OR deposit).
All you have to do is select all the transactions and change their category.
Caution : it will be possible only if all the selected transactions has the same category.
Hope this help
