Questions about this workflow
What does the aggregation use?
It searches for rows where a specified column matches a value and performs a mathematical operation on another column.
Will it categorize expenses automatically?
It uses categories already present in the sheet. The workflow does not establish categories that the records do not contain.
What if an amount is missing?
Check the source rows first. A missing or inconsistent amount can affect the aggregate result.
