Numbers Personal Budget

I am using Numbers Personal Budget for the first time. If I use the default template and click on "actual" to add a transaction, it shows me a function. If I click "transactions::category" it takes me to the transactions table, but I cannot figure out how to actually add a transaction. Can anyone help me understand how this is supposed to work? I cannot find a comprehensive tutorial anywhere. Thank you!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

Hi Jewel,

If you do not see the Transactions table, click the "Transactions" tab at the top of the document window.


On the Transactions table:


Delete the sample transactions if you haven't done that already.

in the first available row (row 12 in the example above.)

Enter:

The date of the transaction in column A,

A brief description of the transaction in column B.

Choose:

The appropriate category from the popup menu in column C.

Enter:

The amount of the transaction (omitting the $ sign) in column D.


Repeat for each transaction you are entering.


Regards,

Barry


PS: Your tables may have a different appearance, as these are from an earlier version of Numbers.
