Everything Else is a collection of categories that can be avoided.  Go to the planning tab, and click the Manage Budget Categories button.  You should now have a list of all your categories.  It you have sub-categories you must do the following to AVOID having to deal with Everything Else.

I will use the following example.  I have two homes and keep the expenses separate from each other.  I start with the main category Home-WP.  I have attached a screen shot of some of these categories.  Under Home-WP there are sub-categories for Insurance, Maint, Mortgage, Projects, Property Taxes, Utilities.  Notice that fthe Parent categories are not selected but the categories under the sub-categories are selected. 

When adding transactions make sure you do not, and I mean DO NOT, categorize anything to a Parent Category.  That will throw a monkey wrench into this big time.  If you need to add another sub-category do that.

I have been doing this since I believe Quicken 2013 and I do not have to deal with EVERYTHING ELSE.  By splitting my two  homes in this manner I can get detailed reports for both homes, one home, or almost whatever I want to see.
