Reinstate Mac Quicken's Great Reporting?
Please, please, just bring back the Reports dialog box from pre-2015 versions.
I have been a devoted user since '93, have data in my q file back to then. I've run multiple multimillion-dollar businesses in Quicken (back then, a $19 program!), with world-class cost and revenue accounting based on diligent categories, classes/tags, and split transactions.
Reports: I just want categories in rows, classes/tags (or months, quarters, years) in columns. That's all. Impossible in this version.
Without this reporting, the program and all those decades of excruciatingly curated data are useless to me. The program has been kneecapped.
I was forced to upgrade, would have kept with 2007 otherwise. It's been stunningly solid as a rock, Quicken in general has been, for decades.
Please, just need basic reporting back, a pretty easy dev buildout.
Thanks.

Comments
I agree that reporting capabilities are under developed in QM2016. As a result reports in QM2007 are not carried over. This is the EXACT same need I have and one of the main reasons that is holding me back on QM2007.
If you have not done so already, I suggest you add your vote for these features to help guide the priorities by the developers. As per the directions of intuit Admin, you can submit your request for bugs/features for Quicken 2016 for Mac by entering into the field "Something not listed? Tell us:" here: http://www.quicken.com/mac/feedback
This is the surest way for them to see your request. The field may appear small but you can type in quite a bit.
Take the time to also vote on any of the listed features that Intuit is considering.

Again: all that's need is to re-create the Reports dialog box from earlier version. All functionality is fully specced out right there. Developer friends say a hotshot could do this in (way?) less than two weeks.
C'mon Intuit, go Nike on us. Just do it.
Thanks,
Steve
2:55:56 p.m. Rey-Cyrus T: If I understood your concern correctly, you having a problem to create a report on Quicken 2016, am I correct?
2:56:51 p.m. Kimball Hamilton: Yes. I used Transaction Details Report extensively in 2007 and I can't replicate it in 2016
2:58:06 p.m. Rey-Cyrus T: I understand Kimball, please give me 2-3 minutes to check my resouces.
2:58:26 p.m. Kimball Hamilton: ok
2:59:37 p.m. Rey-Cyrus T: May I know if what report you want to generate?
3:00:11 p.m. Kimball Hamilton: Transaction Detail Report as in Quicken 2007.
3:05:19 p.m. Rey-Cyrus T: I understand, we can't create a a Transaction report on Quicken 2016. only Category reports and others. You can actually vote for a few features to be added to Quicken 2016 for Mac. We'd love your feedback. Please click on the link to do so. <a href="http://intuitquicken.zuberance.com/reviewV2/start/92868615" target="_blank" class="iwt-message-link">intuitquicken.zuberance.com/reviewV2/start/92868615</a>
3:07:39 p.m. Kimball Hamilton: That is a show stopper. Q2007 has an excellent report system. Q2016 curated reports are of no value to me. Any news that the development team is working hard to bring Q2016 up to the functionality of Q2007?
3:09:00 p.m. Rey-Cyrus T: I understand Kimball, please vote or give a feedback. and our development team will react on your feedback
3:11:46 p.m. Kimball Hamilton: Let's hope so. I've used Quicken for Mac for over 20 years. I perish the though of having to use Quicken for Windows or abandon Quicken entirely.
3:12:00 p.m. Kimball Hamilton: Thanks for you help.
3:12:10 p.m. Rey-Cyrus T: You're most welcome!

Maybe there is a delay in fully implementing this.

It took a lengthy chat conversation with Quicken support (typically, the rep kept trying to follow some irrelevant troubleshooting script and I had to keep asking the same question over and over...), but I managed to get access to download QM 2007 16.2.3. So far it's working great in El Cap.
Amen!
For the first six months, Intuit was really good about adding back in most of the important Quicken Mac 2007 functionality that was lost in QM2015. But Reports is still the HUGE missing feature.
