Q18 for Mac Reports- Edit columns

Erick

I need to edit the columns in the Net Worth Report.  The report is useless to print the way it is. For example, I need to print out 12/15, 12/16 and 12/17 only, not 36 columns for the 36 month period.  I have QM18 5.4.4

It works.  But it is a real pain to do it.  Quicken 2018 should produce reports properly.  (At least as well as QM 07.)  Do the people working on Quicken know of this problem?  I just upgraded to 5.5.0 and they have not addressed the issue of reports.

They know reports, in general, are a real pain for many users, and they've stated they're working on significant enhancements. The 5.5 release didn't involve reports, but I'd still expect to see changes coming in future updates -- we just don't know when. They may release piecemeal updates to reports, as they've been doing over the past year, or perhaps they're working on a major revamp to push out at one time. Unfortunately, all we can do is wait and hope for the best.

Whether they know about this particular report issue is hard to say, so I'd recommend doing as @RickO suggested above to use the Report a Problem option under the Help menu in Quicken to explain what you can't do/need to do in their report. the more people they hear from, the more likely it is to move up on the priority list.

Yes, whenever possible, always use the "Report a Problem" feature, at least as an extra measure...

It is now March 2022 and Quicken is up to 6.6.0 and the ability to edit columns still does not exist. So I am still running Mojove as I cannot update because Quicken 2007 is the only way to get decent reports. PLease, please add the ability to edit columns. It was so easy in Quicken 2007.

@Erick I'm trying to understand what exactly you are wanting to do which you cannot. The Net Worth by Year report, set for the three-year range you want, produces annual columns without intervening months:
