Find & Replace: Location

Movie Magic Budgeting can find Detail lines in your budget based on an applied Location.

Find by Location

  • Open the Find tool
  • Select Location (column) as the Find type
  • Type all or part of the Location Name you want to search for

The Results table below will display any lines that match your search term.

The Account number where the matching detail line can be found is listed first, and may display multiple line results for each account.

The name you searched for will be highlighted in red. The most relevant matches will be listed first. You may match more than one Location if they have similar names.

Click the Go To arrow button for a result to jump to that account.
