Why do Itemized Payee and Itemized Category reports disagree? Defect: Itemized Payee report

Ed Perry

DEFECT? Trying to create a report of last year's charitable contributions, subtotaled by payee. "Quicken Standard Reports/Itemized Categories", customized to only "Charity" category, produces a different total than "Quicken Standard Reports/Itemized Payees", customized to only "Charity" category.
Why? This must be a defect. The "Itemized Payee" report, customized to only "Charity" category, omits amounts in a split transaction if the "Charity" category is not the first item in the split. The "Itemized Category" report correctly reports transactions regardless of location within a split for the "Charity" category, though it does display subtotals by payee.
How do I get a correct report of charitable contributions, subtotaled by payee?

Ed Perry

Correction, "Itemized Category" report does NOT display subtotals by payee, though it correctly reports amounts in splits.

If you haven't already, I suggest you open the Itemized Payee report, press Alt + C, and check Show splits.

That setting does not save with the report. So it is of no use as an annual tax report.

So is it a defect that some customizations are not save with a report?

For an annual tax report,  I suggest you consider using the Tax Summary report.

Okay, with sufficient customization I can get a report that saves and summarizes the way I need it, by collapsing all.
Thanks.
But it exports to Excel and clipboard uncollapsed. I want an Excel version so I can add check marks as I verify receipt documentation, and also as I enter into a tax form.
Any way to export as shown on the screen, collapsed? (to anything but PDF)?
