SUM
===
The SUM facility allows you to add account balances to one another
at regular intervals over a period to produce a 'Sum' account.
START DATE
Simply set this is the beginning of the period - the default is the
current date minus one year
END DATE
This sets the end of the period - the default is the current date
INTERVAL
This is set automatically so that no more than 100 balance sums are
produced in the period. Either a DAILY, WEEKLY or MONTHLY interval is
used. Thus for a period of one year the total balances will be
computed at weekly intervals.
ACCOUNTS
Clicking MENU over the 'Accounts' area will bring up the normal
'Accounts' menu. Any single account or a GROUP of accounts (e.g
'Cash:') can be SELECTed from the menu. If ADJUST is used the menu
will stay open for you to pick more accounts. Up to 10 selections can
be made in total irrespective of the number of accounts in a group. As
you pick accounts they will be added to the list in the order you pick
them.
CLEAR
This will delete the accounts list and reset the dates to their
default values.
SUM
Clicking on the 'Sum' button will start the calculations. Every
selected account will be loaded and its balance at each interval added
to a 'Sum' balance. An hourglass will appear whilst these calculations
take place and then a new window will open displaying the results and
the original window will close.
DISPLAY WINDOW
This window lists all the individual accounts used in the sum
calculations and then displays the dates and balances computed through
the period together with a control panel allowing you to reset the
initial balance to zero (Null), print the Sum account or start a new
Sum account.
SUM ACCOUNT
Only one Sum account exists at any one time. The last Sum account
created becomes the Fixed:Sum account and is available for display
from the SEE ACCOUNT menu. It is also available in the Graph facility
for plotting as a line graph. If another Sum account is created it
then overwrites the original account and becomes the new Sum account,
this account is stored on disc and will not be deleted when !Pennies
is quit.
