- The Statistics function lets you examine various
- statistics about the current state of the current
- checkbook.
-
- The top section of the requester has a spreadsheet-type
- representation of the number of entries (shown as
- "Entries"), the total amount ("Total Amt"), minimum
- amount ("Min Amt"), maximum amount ("Max Amt"), and
- average amount ("Avg Amt") for the different types of
- transactions. They are listed in a similar way to the
- View (Select Groups) Requester's selections.
-
- Row 1 (All Transactions):
- This row shows the statistics for all transactions in
- the checkbook. The "Total Amt" field's contents are
- interpreted differently from the other types of
- transactions in that this amount is not the total of
- all the transaction's amount, but the their total
- balance. This amount plus the initial deposit amount
- equals the current checkbook balance. The "Min",
- "Max", and "Avg" amounts, however, treated the same as
- the other rows (they represent the transaction amounts
- and not the balances).
-
- Row 2 (Viewables Only):
- This row shows the statistics for the viewable
- transactions only (those selected in the View (Select
- Groups) Requester). Just as in Row 1, the "Total Amt"
- column entry is actually the total (running) balance,
- minus the initial deposit, of the viewable
- transactions. The other columns are interpreted
- normally.
-
- Rows 3 to 11:
- These rows show the statistics for the different types
- of viewable transactions (and not all transactions) in
- the checkbook. The "Total Amt" column entries are
- treated the same as the other column entries, in that
- they represent the transaction amounts (total, min,
- max, and average).
-
- The middle section contains a few miscellaneous
- statistics, such as the First Used and Next Available
- Check Number, the number of Entries in the Budget and
- Description Lists.
-
- The bottom section contains a few Budget List statistics,
- such as the Most and Least Likely budget categories to
- become overbudgeted in the future. The program ignores
- budgets already overbudgeted and focuses on those that
- haven't reached overbudget levels. If the Budget List
- produces no clear Most or Least Likely budget (more than
- one are equally likely), then the first budget analyzed
- as such will be displayed. The current Expense Limit
- ("Exp Limit") and total (in analysis period) expenses
- ("Curr Amt") amounts are also shown for each budget. If
- the Budget List contains no entries, then this section
- will be blank.
