exclude a category in report

[zh_olga]

Hi Angeman
I need to exclude a category from splits/comparative reports, but no matter how I do a condition it still shows up
Is it possible to show all the categories except for 1 ?

here's how i'm doing my report - which condition do I create and where should it be ?

[Angeman]

You need to create a "All of the following is true" condition and put it at the very top. Then add a "The category is not XXX" inside it and finally move your "Any of the following is true" inside it as well.

Would that be in transactions filter or in splits filter? And why, please
Please explain how it works so next time i wouldn't have to ask but will be able to just create the necessary filter/conditions

[Angeman]

In the splits filter as it makes more sense.

I have 93 accounts that I would like to exclude from my comparative report. They all are shown in the Categories list with "[" as the first letter.

In other words I want a report on income/expense categories (e.g. Groceries) without showing the accounts (e.g. [Checking]) they draw from. Is there a simple way to enter such a report condition without having to list 93 separate transaction filters?

Sorry, I just noticed the previous posts in this thread were in the Mac thread. I'm hoping for an answer for the iPad, not the Mac!

[Angeman]

Yes, in the categories list you can create a new [Accounts] category and make all these 93 categories children of this new category. When this is done, you can add a "None of the following is true" condition in your report with "The category is descendant of [Accounts]" inside.

Brilliant! Thank you.
