Is there a way to print an Income/Expense comparison report without sub-categories?

Income expense comparison report is a great report but when I print it I get all the sub-category data for each high level category even though my screen only shows high level categories.  Can the report be customized to only print high level categories?

There does not seem to be. The only workaround I can suggest would be to either take a screenshot of the on-screen version, or export to a spreadsheet, delete the sub lines and print.

The latter is actually pretty easy to do because the sub lines all start with a dash. So you can sort by the category column to group all the subs together and delete them en mass.

RickO  Thanks - you have confirmed what I thought.  I'll give the export a try.

Here's a hint for a little more sophistication on the export manipulation (in case you're not a spreadsheet whiz)....

Before you do anything to the spreadsheet, add a column at the right simply numbered from 1 through how ever many lines there are. Excel/Numbers makes this easy. Then after you sort by the category column and delete all the lines starting with "-", you can use that number column to sort the report back to its original order.
