[SOLVED] Transaction Report with Multiple Categories

[KristiB]

Hello,

I'm a brand new user. Is it possible to create a Transaction Report with multiple values for Category? I don't see it as an obvious option, but wanted to be sure.

Thanks!

Set the category names via pipe.

Unfortunately the selection of subcategories does not work then

[KristiB]

Thank you! Even though I can't select to include all subcategories, I can pipe the ones I want in. This works great:

Utilities:Internet|Utilities:Gas|Housing

[Nikolay]

This syntax is called "regular expressions". Here is an example of searching for some subcategories.

Bills:Telephone.*|Un.*

Hi, this looks great. Could another expression *exclude* specific categories?

[stefanoradice]

Solved.

To exclude any categories that contain the string "apple":

^(?!.*apple).*

To exclude any categories that begin with the string "apple":

^(?!apple).*
