Can I do a sub-category of a sub-category?

Linda

I have a category MEDICAL and a sub category for MEDICINE. My questions is can I do a sub category for the medicine? Right now it shows up in category MEDICAL:MEDICINE and in the memo box I put the person's name. Can I set it up under category so it says MEDICAL:MEDICINE:JOE or MEDICAL:MEDICINE:SUE so I can print a report specifically for one person or the other? Right now when I print my reports both people come up on one report.

Yes, you can make multiple levels of subcategories.

But generally a better way to separate expenses by person is to use Tags. Then rather than creating a whole bunch of multi-level subcategories, you just put Joe or Sue in the Tag field.

Then you can easily customize reports to include one or both Tags. Also you can set the Banking Transaction and Cash Flow reports to subtotal by Tag.

If the Tag column is not displayed in your account register, click on the gear at the top right of the register, select Columns to show in register, and put a checkmark next to Tag.
