<p>What you're seeing there is the double-entry aspect of Moneydance. In the main transaction set there are at least two entries for every transaction in the interface - one in the account in which it was entered, and one (or more, if it's a multi-split txn) in the category assigned to that transaction. In Moneydance all categories are account objects, just with a different type. So if you call .getAccountType() on one of those accounts you will get an identifier for the type of account (bank, investment, credit card, income, expense, etc). I'd recommend filtering by that identifier if you don't already have a set filter (say, by specific category names).</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>
