@Marcus...I this this post is quite telling...adderssing the lack of an option for 2-line display:John Kostenbader said:I dearly, dearly miss the ability of a two line registry display.

I was assuming it would be coming soon, now I'll continue to hold on this purchase and check out other productssource: https://getsatisfaction.com/quickencommunity/topics/add-option-for-2-line-row-display-in-quicken-for...
Hi I'm having a new issue on QM2017 Version 4.3.1 (Build 43.14810.100) re split transactions. I know it worked relatively recently and always before - perhaps changed with this update.Diane Just said:I am currently using QM 2007 and recently purchased Quicken for Mac 2017. I hate it but change is hard so I will adjust. However, I cannot move on until I am able to produce the following report. I use classes and subclasses to track expenditures for certain purposes. I need to do a report from one account that takes all transactions marked with that class or subclass, including transfers in and out, and have a total by subclass and class. The report needs to cover the entire period - in my case it is almost 20 years. Attached is a screen shot of a report from a test file I use for trying stuff out. In QM2007 I can drill down to see the transactions. I don't have to do that at this point, but I do absolutely need to have the total.
So, how do I accomplish this with QM 2017?
Restore from a backup like Time Machine or re-install.moneymgr2 said:We just bought the 2017 update yesterday (updating from 2015) and we were not able to access any of our previously created reports. Since we're in the middle of doing something, we want to roll back to Quicken 2015 temporarily. How do we do that?
You got it. Changing the name of one category to match that of another is the new way to merge categories.Pineman said:I have just updated from QM2016 mac to QM 2017 mac, which included the latest updates to that version.
I don't know if it's a fault of QM2017 or the latest updates but I cannot merge Categories. I am sure that I used to be able to carry out this function, in the Categories list, by right clicking on the one I wanted to merge and then select the Category to merge it with.
I can highlight the one I want to merge but right clicking has no effect.
Update
Don't know if it's the correct way to do it bit I have found out that if I change the name of one of the categories to exactly the same as the other it prompts a pop-up asking if I want them merged.
Didn't find that anywhere in Help.
I created a separate Asset account for new large purchases: NewPersonalProperty. Instead of assigning the transaction to an expense category, I enter it as a Transfer to the asset account. I also created an Asset account for already owned items: OldPersonalProperty. Those I just enter as Transactions with no category (Uncategorized). (In QMac2007, they were Transfers to the self-same account.)Craig said:Net worth question, who tracks value of personal belongings, and if so how exactly do you set it up?
This sounds odd, so your recording the transaction as a transfer to an asset account for the retail price you purchased it for?Craig said:Net worth question, who tracks value of personal belongings, and if so how exactly do you set it up?
You are correct, I don't track the current value, I track the purchase price.Craig said:Net worth question, who tracks value of personal belongings, and if so how exactly do you set it up?
So here's what I do with my House (it's kind of weird).Craig said:Net worth question, who tracks value of personal belongings, and if so how exactly do you set it up?

QM2017 is a DOWNgrade from Q2007. Why did I do that? Where is the simple Income Statement report? Why isn't there a default new entry space in the register (so you don't have press command-N each time? Shame on Intuit.I hope that when you implement loans it provides full functionality...please do not leave out bits and pieces...I'd rather have nothing until it is complete than have a partially working feature, like lack of drill down to the transaction record or printing only for some things and not others, or export for some and not others, some reports allow memo, others do not...etc. I just encourage you to keep a feature set complete when implementing it...Thx
Yes, the reporting capabilities are still no mature and very under-developed in QM2017. I highly recommend that you read this post regarding how you can add your vote for the missing features: https://getsatisfaction.com/quickencommunity/topics/does-quicken-for-mac-2017-have-an-income-stateme...I hope that when you implement loans it provides full functionality...please do not leave out bits and pieces...I'd rather have nothing until it is complete than have a partially working feature, like lack of drill down to the transaction record or printing only for some things and not others, or export for some and not others, some reports allow memo, others do not...etc. I just encourage you to keep a feature set complete when implementing it...Thx
I am going to be returning the MAC product because of the lack of the 2 line register. I will stick with an older Windows version for now.Hopefully they will address thisJohn Kostenbader said:I dearly, dearly miss the ability of a two line registry display. I like to show most of the columns and its just too wide. Please bring a two line display like the windows version. I have friends that are holding of going to the Mac version because of that
I guess each of us has his/her preferences; however, I don't view the absence of a two line register display sufficient reason to give up on Quicken for Mac given the horrendous problems with the two line register display in Quicken for Windows 2017.John Kostenbader said:I dearly, dearly miss the ability of a two line registry display. I like to show most of the columns and its just too wide. Please bring a two line display like the windows version. I have friends that are holding of going to the Mac version because of that
I guess to each his own. I find I use almost all the columns in a typical checking account registry and although I have a large monitor I dislike the stretched out feeling. I don't really use investment accounts but I'd be willing to bet that almost every quicken user uses a checking account of sorts. I agree that giving up on Quicken for the lack of a two line display is not a good idea. There are lots of things to celebrate. To me the addition of a two line display would go a long way to help me visually organize a particular transaction.John Kostenbader said:I dearly, dearly miss the ability of a two line registry display.

I am not giving up on Quicken for the lack of the two line register, just not willing to make the switch to the MAC version of quicken. I am using an older version of QW in a Parallels VM that works well. Between the slight inconvenience of using Windows in the Mac (which I would still need for TurboTax Business - corporations) or lacking the two line option, I prefer to keep the windows version. I do not update yearly, maybe every 2 or 3 years. So my decision has little ,if any, financial effect on Quicken other than my copy and those of family and friends I influence. Just voicing what I view is a key feature that would have convinced me to switch.. I have been using quicken for many many years (also started with the DOS version).John Kostenbader said:I dearly, dearly miss the ability of a two line registry display.

I am also looking for the budget to include investment income, as it is useless for me as it is. The category report is much more useful. As most of my expenses vary from month to month alerts, that I am over budget usually do not mean anything anyway.M C Crockett said:One thing that is really needed in Quicken Mac is a more consistent transaction selection logic for budgets and reports that are generated.
The transaction selection logic used to generate the Category Comparison report needs to be used to generate the Category Summary report. In addition, this transaction selection logic needs to be used to select the transactions to be included in the Budget tool/report.
As a retiree, it was a pleasant surprise to discover that the Category Comparison report actually reported my IRA distributions in the Income section of the report. It would be great if my IRA distributions were reported as income when generating a Budget. At the moment, Budget is a useless feature of Quicken Mac as it doesn't include the IRA distributions (RMD withdrawals) while including the Federal, State, and Local taxes I pay on them in the Budget.
Quicken 2017 for Mac will no longer download transactions for Members First Credit Union/UtahChau Nguyen said:What about handling of stock options transactions for investment accounts? it's absurd that the 2017 doesn't have this capability.
I believe a little more information is needed before anyone will be able to give advice. While I have been critical of Quicken for Mac 2017, not all problems with downloads are their fault, and sometimes the situation fixes itself in a day or so. For example: How long has it been? Did you confirm that you can log into the site normally? Did you restart QM and/or your computer?Chau Nguyen said:What about handling of stock options transactions for investment accounts? it's absurd that the 2017 doesn't have this capability.
I have done all of the above. It is an issue for Quicken to resolve. It has been 2 weeks. They can't even verify that the issue is being worked. You sound as though you think I don't know what I am doing. You are wrong.Chau Nguyen said:What about handling of stock options transactions for investment accounts? it's absurd that the 2017 doesn't have this capability.
Sorry. I didn't think you did or didn't know what you are doing, but I couldn't tell from the information in your post. Yes, it is very frustrating that Quicken won't acknowledge problems. However, this is a user to user forum. We can only hope that the developers are monitoring and paying attention to user problems. Maybe someone else will have a suggestion for what else you can do to resolve it yourself.Chau Nguyen said:What about handling of stock options transactions for investment accounts? it's absurd that the 2017 doesn't have this capability.
