Newbie questions: Category typing, Hidden transactions

Post by thumble »

I want to migrate from Quicken to MMEX, have questions pls:

- When updating transactions, do I have to actually click on Categories and then find them manually or is there a way to start typing and MMEX finds it?
- I use 'hide transaction' for some transactions in Quicken, essentially it hides from Budgets and reports. How can I do the same in MMEX?

Thanks.

You can click on the category list and then when you press a character it will cycle through the categories beginning with that character - That may help

MMEX has no 'hide transaction capability'. What is the use case for this with Quicken?

I spent $1000 on my wife's business. This amount should be reflected in the checking account balance to reconcile the values. However, I prefer not to have this amount included in the reports as it was not used for household expenses.
