Projected balance and running balance agree; do not understand today's balance

sydneylanier

I am running version Mac OS Deluxe 2020, version 5.15.1, annual subscription. I do not use the online banking feature. I reconcile bank statement to my Quicken register by hand.

I do not understand the discrepancy between the 'projected balance' and 'today's balance'. The projected balance is in sync with my running balance. The today's balance is some weird number that I am unable to reconcile by adding, subtracting or taking away transactions... it's just some random number. It seems today's balance should be whatever today is - not counting future deposits or transactions that I have noted in the register for future dates (ie. the projected balance). How do I get the today's balance to actually show today's balance.

I repeat - there is no influence from online bank interference because I am not signed up with my bank giving access to my Quicken account.

Thanks.

Older unpaid scheduled transactions cause that difference, and it is by design.

The running balance will include the transx amounts, even if these older schedtransx haven't been marked as paid. The Today's & Projected Balance will not.

Notice the $100 difference between today's and the running balance in this screenshot. That is because I haven't taken my dog to the vet yet:



You have to find your older scheduled transactions and determine if you need to skip those instances (or mark them as paid)
