show tags in reports QMac 2018

J D Thomas

I am trying to create a report to check past transactions from one payee.  I use tags to organize things by year.  But when I create the report, there is no column for Tags. WHY???
Moreover, how can one customize columns in reports?  Add or show columns.  Am I missing something that is readily obvious in the Windows version?

What version of QMac are you using?
Also, which report template are you using?

In QM2018, you need to use one of the New Reports (probably Transaction Report). The New Reports menu item is found in the Reports menu. After choosing New Reports > Transaction Report, you can choose to subtotal by Tag (or other column). Once the report opens, click the Columns button to enable the Tags column if not already displayed. Click the Customize button to allow display of all Tags or only certain tags.

Got it Rick.  Most helpful.  I was using a standard report by mistake.  This is better.  Thanks.

For QMac 2018 (and later) - see RickO's response below.
The option to display a Tag column has been added in the New Report template.
This option is not available in the older reports that have carried over from early versions of QMac.
