Hi Hal,
Something seems ot be wonky with notifications. I am also getting multiple emails about posts.
In the template, you can choose the category for each expense using the popup. This all happens in the Transactions table. In the Budget sheet the Summary by Category table is the report. I think this is what you are after with your question but it is not clear to me.
Wayne's suggestion, and mine, is to organize your input and report tables more like the Monthly Budget spreadsheet. Wayne is considering your "what for" column to be the category. Is this correct? I am suggesting your assign a category to each transaction and then add a note if you want to distinguish between "my Phone" and "kid's phone". Having a popup for categories is a great and necessary feature of this spreadsheet.
