Duplicate entry in budget

I have the same problem for M04. I spent hours learning to use and setup the
program to end up with an inept budget tool. I will not waste more time on
this garbage! I plan on getting quicken.

Not the exact symptom, but the work-around is what Chris mentions.

I did a Goggle search but it is not easy to find a solution. Can you
remember another work around?

There's an ugly workaround related to moving the current bill and all
historical transactions to a new, slightly renamed category, removing the
old category from the budget, then deleting it. It's cumbersome but it
works. There are caveats that I can't remember but you should be able to
find them by searching Google.

I doesnt make sense to get a piece of software for Financial Management and
then to use Excel for that!
It should be a way to work around this problem. Microsoft, come on!

I have had this problem for several years, and I've never figured
out how to get rid of it. I've also reported it to Microsoft for
M02, M03 and M04. I tested this problem in M05 also. It's not
been fixed.

This is one of those things that I've just gotten used to.

If I really need to know a completely accurate number, I export the
budget report to excel and tweak the misbehaving number.

Hi, after modifying any bill in bills and deposits, It appears twice in
budget and can not fix.
How to delete the phantom bill?
