Graphs or charts are a great way for you to see a particular type of spending at a glance. For example you may want to compare your spending at different supermarkets to see how much you’re spending at the expensive shop around the corner.
Start by clicking on the New Graph link. In this case (where you ant to compare a few merchants), you’d choose the Comparison option and in the Select items field, type in the first supermarket and select it. You can change the colour of bars by clicking on the coloured box.
Choose the period you want to monitor, say 3 months.
Click Add Bar and follow the same steps for your other supermarkets. When they have all been added, click Next step, name your chart and click Done.
Your chart will be added to your Dashboard and your grocery spend available at a glance.
