A category "Home" is defined as a personal expense but it is listed under business in the cash flow

Although the category Home is clearly defined as a personal expense, it lists under business in the cash flow report. It has many sub categories under it like electricity for my house so the cash flow report is very incorrect. I'd like to know if there's a fix.

Thanks

What happens if you delete the existing "Home" category and rename "Home2" to "Home"? This would require that you first recategorize any transactions still using one of the Home categories but presumably you would be doing that anyway.

I created a new category, "Home2" and put the subs under that. All good now. Not sure why that happened.

Or merge Home and Home2 into Home2, and then rename it Home. (That would avoid needing to manually change transactions categories anywhere.)

Thanks Jacobs. I’ll try the merge, that would save time. I’ll let you know if that works

Since we don't know exactly what's going on with the old Home category I didn't want to suggest merging it into the new category in case the problem got merged along with it. But maybe that won't happen.

I only had a few categories so I subbed them under Home2, deleted Home, then renamed Home2 to Home. Easy Peasy.

Thanks for all your help.
