Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

I track my future expenses via schedules (no bank sync), but whenever I change something (like adding a new debt, or increasing/decreasing salaries), I can't see how it will change my total balances.

It would be nice to have a report/calculation or a sign for "forecasting" the account balances based on the schedules.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

The schedules provide a time-series DB of sorts, all it would need is to calculate the changes for a certain time period.

I'm not sure what's the best way to display this information.

Teaching and learning

Adding this as part of the schedules documentation.
