02:51:18 <gnucashlearner> newbie here. having trouble with split transactions. Simple example: I buy $25.00 petrol and $8.95 oil, pay with cash. Can someone please tell me how to do it? The only tutorials I've seen deal with income and tax etc

08:55:23 <warlord> gnucashlearner: From your Cash account, enter a transaction: desc: <Garage Name>, Transfer: Expenses:Auto:Fuel, Withdrawl: 33.95 .. Then click the SPLIT button to expand the transaction.
08:56:19 <warlord> From there: change the DEPOSIT amount in Expenses:Auto:Fuel to 25, tab off the end of the line, then in the new split (which should auto-set the amount to 8.95) you assign the correct account (e.g. Expenses:Auto:Oil)
08:56:29 <warlord> Then hit Return to commit.
08:58:04 <warlord> gnucashlearner: hopefully that helps?

10:08:13 <gjanssens> gnucashlearner: open your cash register, start entering your transaction tabbing from one field to the other
10:08:32 <gjanssens> in the transfer account enter the account for your petrol expense
10:08:51 *** iliv has joined #gnucash
10:09:01 <gjanssens> hit tab twice to get into the withrawal column
10:09:10 <gjanssens> enter the total amount you paid
10:09:28 <gjanssens> THEN DON'T HIT ENTER OR TAB
10:09:31 <gjanssens> instead click on the split button
10:09:53 <gjanssens> this will show what you have entered so far in more detail
10:10:08 <gjanssens> adjust to amount for the petrol expense account to 25
10:10:43 <gjanssens> add an extra split for your oil expense of 8.95 using the appropriate expense account for oil
10:10:59 <warlord> gjanssens: heh, double the help!
10:11:35 <gjanssens> warlord: oops, I was disconnected for a while due to a service interrupt
10:11:44 * gjanssens can stop typing then :)
10:12:10 <gjanssens> tx warlod
10:15:04 <warlord> NP. Hopefully between the two of us (s)he'll get the answer. You did add one important part: "DON'T HIT ENTER"

13:00:52 <dkcarlson> Using Gnucash 2.6.11 in Debian Linux ssh from Win10 when I open my file with a few linechart reports I get " ;;; WARNING (gnc:make-report-anchor: e9cf815f79db44bcb637d0295093ae3d No such option: Display Use Stacked Lines)" I know there has been some work done on that report recently, Would bulding 2.6.15 eliminate this?

15:29:51 <gnucashlearner> thanks guys for the help. I've just woken up, have to get to work. I'll copy the above to a txt doc and I'll give it another go tonight.
15:46:39 <warlord> gnucashlearner: Note that I'm in US/EST, and gjanssens is in Europe, so time it accordingly.
