I would like to never see the transactions from dividends, or disbursments on the transactions page. But still want to see the total balance in the balance pages. Can this be accomplished? ---

If by never you mean NEVER, you can always delete the transactions from the transactions page. The Balance History would still have data and report on balances. The other way is to mark some as hidden, but you’d then need to play with the Balance to show the hidden account (and not other hidden accounts). ---

It occurs to me that this would be an interesting addition to AutoCat. Instead of assigning new data in a column like it does now, have an option to delete the transaction (if ‘Description’ = ‘401k Distribution’ then delete row). Would need to be careful with it, but AutoCat is already capable of really ruining your sheet if you use it wrong, so it doesn’t seem that much more dangerous (thank you Version History!). Thoughts @randy ? ---

I get daily or almost daily updates in my 401k for some reason. I think it might be the movement or price change, but not sure. I use autocat to just mark it as 401k Transaction and I have that hidden. Thinking about it more, I might put a filter on the Transactions sheet or slicer, to exclude those accounts, but I haven’t thought of deleting it, but since it is a good chunk of data that might be the smart thing to do. ---

That’s a wild suggestion— and an even crazier rationalization, @jpfieber! 🤪 The rules engine could handle it… it is certainly possible. Something for product manager, @heather, to think on. 🤔 In the interim, using AutoCat to fill a “Flag for Deletion” column with a scripted or manual workaround is probably the best solution, @jpfieber. ---

I’ve just installed the new Insights sheet and the same problem occurs there. Most of my outflows entries, and some of my inflows entries, are related to my retirement accounts. I would like to see a fundamental mechanism to hide/remove defined records from everyday activities - transactions, insight - whilst keeping them in balances , even budgets (have to think about that). ---

hi! I would like to move the investment transactions (401k, dividends, etc.) from the transactions tab into its own investment transactions tab. I _do_ want to see them, but I just don’t want those transactions muddled with grocery transactions. Is there a way to do this? @heather or @morgan ---

@KS514 there is not a way to automatically have the investment account transactions fill into their own separate tab. The Transactions sheet is for all transactions for all linked accounts. If you don’t want the transactions for those accounts in the sheet with your day to day spending, you’d need to unlink those accounts (which will also stop balance updates) and clear the transactions from the sheet and create a separate sheet for investments. > **[How can I remove account data for an unlinked or closed account?](https://help.tillerhq.com/en/articles/2333215-how-can-i-remove-account-data-for-an-unlinked-or-closed-account)** > > Learn how to clean up your data if you've unlinked an account from a sheet. ---

It’s been a few years, but using autocat to remove transactions is something that came up for me for accounts that have sweep transactions. Otherwise the currently solution would be a sheets script or using filter function with additional sheets.
