<p>You need to use the old style mixed interval budget to be able to set a budget that hold the values indefinitely or for the time you set. The new style can only be copied from the previous month, so to fill a year you have to go to each month and copy the previous month one at a time. Also you will find the old style budget is much faster to navigate.</p></div>mhoggietag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/471390522019-04-03T18:12:03Z2019-04-03T18:12:03ZInput methods to ease building a budget<div><p>Worked.

I am having the same problem described above.

Also known as the old style budget. Then you will find the options to calculate the budget when you select Edit for that budget</p>
<p>Here is the setup info.<br>

Lets say.<br>
01-01-2018 thru indefinite, Insurance, $100 monthly<br>
12-01-2018 thru 12-31-2018, Insurance, $50 monthly (additional amount)</p>
<p>If you run a report for that period you will see that all months have a $100 budget except December which will have a $150 budget.</p>
<p>Only issue I find is having to add that additional amount to your budget for each year.</p></div>mhoggie
