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?

While trying to find in and out transactions that were within larger than a certain value (>100), I realize that actual uses the sign to determine if it is larger or smaller, so transactions one could not filter all transactions that were >100 since all outgoing (credit) transactions are treated as negative.

Therefore, a transaction like -300 would never show up because -300 < 100, but having an absolute calculation would show up because |-300| > 100

It would be nice to add an option to filter by the magnitude of the transactions.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Filter by the magnitude of the transactions so that all transactions that are over (or under!) a certain size can be easily filtered.

Teaching and learning

Explain that they can click the + and - signs to cycle through the values (and explain the new one, \left\vert\cdot\right\vert for abs).

What version did you test this on?
Actual 25.11

You can do this by adding two filters, and setting the combination mode to "any".

That's a fair point. I hadn't realized/forgot that you could stack filters in it.
I still think abs would be be useful so that the filters don't have to be any, but this serves what I need in the short-term. Thanks!
