Automated categorization

[mcgyver83]

Hi all, I'm a new user

In my expenses xls file from bank, I have a column with a text.
Would be nice to being able to define rules to automatically set MMEX Category field

The pattern of the Payee might help.

Thanks for the reply but I don't get it.
I can set "match patterns on Import" for each Payee but what I should write there?

Example: I have a column in my excel that contains the string "payment for my broker that is my friend".
What I should write in the pattern to automatically assign this "operation" to "broker" payee?
I mean: should I add in the "pattern" something like "*broker*" ?


Second question: I want to automatically set "the category" of imported operations.
During the import (from CSV file) I can define which "column" correspond to category but I cannot set a pattern for it.

*broker* would match your case here: "payment for my broker that is my friend" and attribute it to the existing "broker" payee.

no idea on cateogry
