Re: [GNC] Problem with "Find"

I have v4.14 and I see 'Transactions Report' under 'Reports' menu. Same idea
as the Trial Report here. Use the 'Accounts' tabs from the option to select
accounts in question - credit card and 'Doctors and Dentists' and then use
the 'General' tab to set the start and end dates -- 07/22/2026 & 08/24/2026
-- to limit what is displayed.

 

After this, I am out of ideas other than to go through transaction by
transaction in the credit card register to find them. As mentioned earlier,
if you know the amount then you can run 'Find' for that amount from the open
register of the accounts in question.

Tried from the expense account and it still doesn't return any transactions.

 

AS for your suggestion to run an income and expense report, I have never run
reports and under 'income and expense', I tried Trial Balance selecting only
the 'Doctors & Dentists' account and the dates I wanted.  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). 

Thank You,

Reverse the workflow. Open "Doctors & Dentists" register, and perform find
to the Credit Card account first. Then as a second stage refinement add
dates. See if that shows. 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.

Thanks, I tried 'New Search' for just the account, but it still returns
nothing.

Only thing to watch out is that make sure that you select 'Type of search'
to 'New search' when updating/modifying the search criteria as default
selection is to refine the search, otherwise those transaction are not
assigned to "Doctors & Dentists" anymore.

I suggest take two steps approach ... first find all transaction from credit
card account that are assigned to "Doctors & Dentists" and then refine it to
be between dates in the second step refinement.

I tried to "Find" transactions in my credit card account that were charged
to the expense account "Doctors & Dentists" between the dates 07/22/2026 &
08/24/2026.  I selected "Account", "Choose Accounts", then selected
"Expense" and the "Doctors & Dentist" account.  I also added the 2 dates as
additional criteria.  It found no transactions and I know there were at
least 2.  I tried doing it again, this time leaving out the dates, knowing
that I could just look at the last month.  Again, it found o Transactions.

What am I doing wrong or is this a bug?


Thank You,
