Bank Account

Question

I want to make a new itemized category report for an existing checking account, beginning 1/1/19, and which includes category balances from  12/31/18.  Is this possible, and if so, how?

Categories do not have associated "balances" at any point in time.  As such, I don't think what you seek is possible.  What @Scooterlam  offered is about as close as you can get.  The only extension I might offer beyond that is one such report from beginning to 12/31/18, then a second report for 2019.

There is a Quicken Standard Report called "Spending by Category".  Reports>Reports and Graphs Center>Spending by Category.

Have you had a look at that?   
You can customize the report by adjusting dates, totals by time period, and accounts to include, et al.  See image.  Does this help you get started?
