Let's say I have the following hierarchy for an expense type:

- Home
   - Utilities
   - Maintenance

When I record an expense in the "Home" category, rather than one of its subcategories, why does this entry appear separate from the others, as being in the "Home" category in the expense report ? This generates an "error" in the percentages of the subcategories.

Wouldn't it be better if it didn't appear this way and simply be added to the "Home" total?

Could I change that?

Can you post a sample .cdb file that illustrates your question ? Thanks

Ok perfect so in this screenshot which percentage don't you understand ?

Transactions registered as a "Home" category are not added to the total of the "Home" parent category in the report, which includes "Utilities" and "Maintenance", but are displayed separately.

Why are they not simply added to the total of the parent category?

Well, they are : 65 for maintenance + 35 for utilities + 35 for just home = 135 which is the total written next to Home.

Ok, I got it, but I thought that as the expenses registered in the parent category "Home", because they does not fit specifically in any of the subcategories, then they would not appear highlighted in the report, but added to the total of the parent category "Home".

The report totals would be as follows, although a little weird because the total "Home" would not correspond to the sum of "Utilities" and "Maintenance".

Home: 135,00
    Utilities: 35,00 - 25,92%
    Maintenance: 65,00 - 48,15%
