Manually added transactions aren't appearing in budgets / formatting seems to be broken

Hi there,

I’ve added transactions manually to my budget, which I also did in 2024. But since the start of 2025, when I do this, the Categories column doesn’t allow me to select from the dropdown list or autopopulate with my Categories, and my transactions aren’t being included in my budgets. It seems like some formula is broken, but I’m not clear how to fix it. Also, the alternating white/grey shading to the rows stops at the manually added transactions, if that’s significant.

Does anyone know what might be going on? Appreciate all the help in advance.

thanks!

Hi @justine with respect to the Categories list on the Transactions sheet you can refer to this guide on how to restore the data validation (the dropdown list). Monthly and Yearly budget sheets rely on categorized transactions to display data so perhaps this will resolve both of those problems.

Not sure what you mean with respect to white and grey formatting, and where in the sheet you’re now referring to, perhaps you can write in to support , send a new message using the blue chat widget in the lower right corner of your Console at https://my.tiller.com and send a screenshot for additional context
