Re: [GNC] Problem with "Find"

Try a Transaction Report.

Select only that expense account in Options > Accounts tab

I can't bring up my instance at the moment, but I *think* in the Options 
 > Accounts tab there is a 'filter' section after the main accounts 
selection. If so, select only the credit card account there.

If not, in the Display tab, set it to show the 'other account name' so 
at least you can see the info on the report.

If you don't get results for the desired date window, set the date 
window from the beginning of the book until perhaps end of 2026.

If you still don't get results, filter by more than one credit card if 
you have one.

If that still doesn't work, then remove the filters, show all 
transactions for the expense account displaying 'other' account name and 
just wade through them. You likely have a data entry error somewhere 
that your filtering is preventing you from seeing them.

Adrien

Then I clicked on the related link and it showed me the expenses in the account, but from the beginning of time (at least from when I started using Gnucash in 2015).

If it doesn’t show then most likely those transactions have incorrect contra leg. In that case review of each every transactions will be needed to hunt it down. Alternate I can think of is to generate an Income and expense report with those accounts and dates to see if they are there.
