How to choose which columns show in a report

Question

I've created a report for my tax appointment, and there are columns of information that I don't need or want for this. If I ask only to show summaries, the information in the columns disappears, but the space for the columns does not, leaving a huge amount of blank space between the date and the amount.

The columns have no headings, but the second one is bank/credit card (which I don't need or want to see), the second is category (which I do want to see), and the third is memos (which I might want to see.

There is nothing under the "View" menu which gives any way to choose what I want to view.

Two questions:
1. Is there any way I can control this?
2. If I choose only to see the summaries, is there a way to get rid of the huge blank space between the date and amount?

Some (think: Category Summary) don't make sense to update, because they're completely duplicated by the new reports. Others (think: Net Worth Over Time) might make more sense to retain, because they don't need some of the new features. Still, it would surprise me if they would decide to leave two completely different printing architectures in the program permanently.

I would double-check that... I recall Marcus making a more recent statement somewhere that they are thinking of updating them once they finish with the new reports, rather than removing them. I took me a bit by surprise, so it stuck with me.

Thanks, jacobs! I thought that I had generated this report from New Reports, but maybe I didn't and didn't realize what I was doing. In any case, I'm loathe to start from scratch, as I've just about finished preparing for my tax appointment tomorrow! Next year, though! :smile:
