Hi. Just started using the Budgets feature in Summary and it would really help to be able to set a budget date as “the last Friday of the month” rather than a fixed date!
Any chance of adding this? Being able to see a summary based on when the money actually comes in would make budgeting much simpler!
Currently the closest I’ve come is setting the last friday manually using 4-weekly mode, but I’m guessing this won’t work when I encounter a 5 week month.
Being able to set “last X of the month” or even “Nth/Nth-last X of the month” would be ideal
The last Friday can be anything from 22nd (such as this month when Feb 28 is a Thursday) to 31st! It would be a big help to be able to do this! Or failing that, perhaps the last weekday to move money around before all the bills on 1st which is what I actually need to do.
I’m really trying to figure out a way to do this too… I get paid on the last Friday every month, which makes the estimated amount left over kind of useless.
I saw a thread from summer last year that had screenshots of features that supposedly would be added soon that made this possible, but seen nothing since?
Would love to hear if anyone has a workaround or something related to this?
After trying to figure out if this is possible to automate, it seems it isn’t…
However there’s a manual work around that I’m going to have to use instead. If I go to enter a custom start date and enter this months pay day (last Friday), it will adjust everything up until then. Once I get paid I guess I’ll just do that again to the last Friday of the following month by changing it to whatever the date is then… As far as I can tell that should work?
This has already been implemented. Unfortunately it doesn’t support being paid on the last Friday of every month. Last month was a prime example of this issue affecting summary periods, we were paid on the 22nd and now we have a 5 week window.
Ah I see… so annoying, it can’t be that hard to do surely? Yeah exactly the same re: last month… Makes the estimated budget kind of useless unless I keep manually putting in my next pay day?
