Hi, There are certain expenses I want to save as a different expense than all my other expenses and be able to have the total of those expenses in Category Tracker. So, I added another category type called “expense2” ; Is this the best way for me to do this? and how would I be able to get the total for Expense2 in Category Tracker spreadsheet? Thank you.
I dont think the category tracker or any other sheet is built to have an additional expense type added, however my thought to accomplish this goal would be to add a new group and filter by group on the transaction tracker if these expenses will span more than one category. You would need to adjust all associated categories to be set to the designated group on the categories sheet in order for this to work properly.
Another option that you may not have thought of would be to use tags and the Docs: Tags Report for Transaction Tagging this would allow you to span multiple categories as well and seperate out the expenses based on one’s that include the tag you designate.

Yeah, Tiller only supports the three category types (customizing them will break stuff), so better to consider other options per @bentyre1 's suggestions.
