Hello,
What is the best way to track capital expenses so that they show up on reports (e.g. monthly spending, category roundup report), but do not skew the budget and spending percentages? For example, we did a significant home renovation and bought exercise equipment. These are important to note, but we planned to pay out of savings so they were not budgeted for.
Much Thanks!

One “easy” way is to just modify the Budget query to exclude that specific category.

Yes. As @yossiea suggests, @laurag0312, you could create a category for Home Improvements and then just set that category to “Hide from Reports” in the Categories sheet.
