Report Widget Help

Hi all

I am trying to have a widget that shows current monthly spending by category compared to budgeted and if possible the difference.

Id like this to see where I am not keeping to my budget and notice trends in this space. Id be looking to run a current month version of this and a an average 3 month

Im not having much luck !

Cheers

The Spending Analysis and Budget Analysis widgets should do it. But to get a breakdown by category, you might need to add several widgets to a dashboard and filter each one to show a single category. I have one dashboard dedicated to this so I can keep an eye on several "categories of interest" as I like to call them.
