09:37:41 <takamichi> Ive imported a few thousand OFX formated transactions and I need to assign each to an expense account. Using the find tool I can filter large groups of the same transactions, but how do I mass update them with the same expense account?
09:38:03 <takamichi> I have read the manual, but I cannot find any reference to this
09:38:27 <takamichi> If there is, I'd greatly appreciate a keyword or any hint where I could find it
09:52:56 <warlord> you cannot operate on multiple transactions at once. You'd be better off using the importer to assign the expense accounts.

20:04:08 <Flash> I'd like to have an expense budget with YTD tracking. Can someone point me in the direction of how to do that?
20:27:14 *** helix7 has quit IRC
20:58:06 <warlord> Flash: I'm afraid I don't use GnuCash's budgeting features, so I can't help you.
20:58:21 <warlord> Someone else might reply.. or you can try subscribing to and asking on the gnucash-user mailing list.
21:08:42 <warlord> anyways, i'm off for the night.

21:50:56 <Silly> How do poeple usually do a budget?
21:56:11 <Silly> the way I have been doing it is I have a basic figure of I dont' wan tto spend more than X per month and I keep track of my expenses with gnucash and look at the reports and see, Oh, I'm getting close to X and I cut back on spending... but I've seen other people who have like an actual plan and stuff.. I"m curious how people do it and what applications they use to help them...
21:57:09 <Flash> a budget is just a plan for spending (or income, but most home users are more concerned with spending)
21:57:31 <Silly> yea
21:57:50 <Flash> the key thing is to track your actual expenses against your plan
21:58:04 <Flash> gnucash can easily do that for a given month
21:58:25 <Silly> I like the expenses reports, I use them all the time to see how much is going out...
21:58:27 <Flash> but I want to find out how to carry overages/underruns forward into the next month (YTD)
