Hey.

I'm using WYGIWYH for a few days now and I'm loving it!

But i realized that there is no way to see how much I spend on a specific category over the month or maybe over the year. As an example I got a category "groceries" and would love to be able to see how much was spend on groceries in January or how January was in comparison to July.

Am I missing something or is there no way to display this data right now? Is it already on your road-map? Are there other views or possibilities for data evaluation planned?

Thanks a lot!

Regards

Glad you're loving it!

I definitely want to add more views and in-depth information, I just haven't got around to designing these screen yet. If you have some suggestions about what you would like to have/see I would love to hear them.

As a work-around for now, you can go to Transactions > All on the navbar. Then you can filter for Category and Reference Date (or Date), the right bar should show you how much you spent/earned on this category by Currency and By Account.

For example, if you want to see how much you spent on grocery on July, filter for:

  • Category: Grocery
  • Reference Date: Start on July 2024 until July 2024

Version 0.10.1 should allow you to do what you want using the new Insights > Category Explorer.

More charts and data visualization coming soon!

Hey. The "Insights" section is fantastic and I successfully use it to track my expenses/income per category, as I described in my initial post.

Would it be possible to have another "insight" like "Category Overview" with a table like this (just as a simple example):

I have no idea if this will be easy to accomplish, so thank you in advance for looking into this!

Sounds good, shouldn't be too hard (famous last words).
