Change category on multiple entries FROM a report

David Carpenter

For example: I have coded all my vacations to a category called "Vacation". I would now, from that report (since I used many different accounts), like to select certain items and send to a new category "Vacation 1" and others to a new category "Vacation 2", without having to go to each individual entry's register and back to the report.

Maybe I'm missing something in the question. If you want to change a transaction in a report from one category to another, just click and press Return (or double-click) to edit the transaction. The first click opens a register window, with the transaction you clicked highlighted; pressing Return opens the transaction for editing. Change the category, save the transaction, and click back on the report window.

Great solution. Good to know about subcategories. If they exist, they should be easy to find by rerunning the Vacation report and then modifying one at a time.
