pierrecaradecHi,
I think it would be useful to sum up categories on Report. I’d like to see the sum of all expenses categories evolution in months but I can’t do it. Maybe other users might also think it is useful to see earnings and expenses reports.
Thanks.

Summing different categories in financial reports is crucial for gaining insights into spending habits and overall financial health. By aggregating expenses into specific categories, users can easily identify areas where they may be overspending or where they can potentially cut costs.
For instance, if a user tracks their dining expenses separately from entertainment, summing these categories can highlight trends in discretionary spending. This functionality not only aids in better budgeting but also empowers users to make informed financial decisions based on their unique spending patterns.
Users can propose new features for CalendarBudget by participating in community forums or submitting requests through the official support channels. Engaging with the development team allows users to voice their needs and contribute to the software's evolution.
For example, if a user desires the ability to sum categories in reports, they can create a post in the feature wish list section of the forum, detailing their use case and the benefits of such a feature. This collaborative approach not only enhances user satisfaction but also fosters a sense of community among CalendarBudget users.
To maximize the benefits of CalendarBudget, users should follow best practices for effective budgeting. This includes setting realistic financial goals, regularly updating their budget, and utilizing the software's reporting features to track progress over time.
For example, users can set monthly spending limits for different categories and use the software to monitor their adherence to these limits. By consistently reviewing their financial reports, users can adjust their budgets as necessary, ensuring they stay on track to meet their financial objectives.
CalendarBudget offers various advanced reporting features that can enhance users' budgeting experience. These features allow for detailed analysis of financial data, helping users to visualize their spending and savings trends effectively.
For instance, users can generate reports that break down their expenses by category over different time periods, providing insights into seasonal spending habits. This level of detail not only aids in immediate budgeting decisions but also helps in long-term financial planning and goal setting.
