Bug Description

Hello,
congratulations the best by far app in its category. I have tried many similar applications but deleted
all of them for various reasons. Your application is interesting, has very good functionality, enough simplicity
and very good presentation.

There is a bug in reports by category.
My database (example) is like that:
1) car expenses (60 euro sum) category with subcategories gas(40 euro) and asseccories (20) and
2) personal expenses(80 euro sum) with subcategories: dining out (30 euro) and super market (50).
When I click to report by category I can see graphic bars for the two categories (with the expenses from all
subcategories summed) and also four graphic bars for every subcategory mentioned above. Toataly six graphic bars.
So this means that every is expense is mentioned twice, first time in subcategory and second time in
category (included in sum). Please remove this double presentation of data as it is frustrating to see for
example the car graphic bar with 60 euros expenses in total and aside another graphic bar for gas expenses (double information).

Generally, I think the report handling is wrong and the report by category should behave exactly like report by sucategory,
where you can see at first only the main categories (in my example two bars, one for car and one for personal)
and by clicking in one category you can see its subcategories alone. The report by subcategory should be
similar to report by category, that is to see only data per subcategory (eg gas, dining, etc) and no summed data for
categories as these are mentioned in sub-categories.

I support this request. It is very confusing to see top level categories (sums) with subcategories in reports.
I would like to add additionally to show subcategory full name (path) so that it includes top level category e.g.:
Food > Dairy
Food > Bakery
Food > Meet
The workaround for now is to copy top level category name into subcategory which is not very DRY :)
