In the video, I actually try to process some deposits and payments for the first time with GnuCash. It is very different from QuickBooks Desktop or Online.
In the process of looking for an alternative to QuickBooks for nonprofits, I’m testing out GnuCash.

I’ve been feeling this for a long time that I should make a serious effort to evaluate QuickBooks alternatives. This is likely to be a long series where I’m learning as I go.
In Excel, it’s pretty common to add numbers based on multiple criteria (SUMIFS). In the past, I’ve always had to work with criteria that are in row OR columns. What about if my criteria are in rows AND columns? Will SUMIFS still work? The answer is No, but I found a workaround.
