Is there a way to have the budget file available for writing reports (Q Mac)

I am trying to create a trending file for three actual years and the future budget year. It looks like reporting only allows for actual year reporting. I know I can create it by downloading the comparison report and then downloading the budget file into Excel, but do not understand why the budget file cannot show up as an option to include in the reporting potion of the system.

    You can export the budget report from your budget. Then you'll have to do some work in your spreadsheet to match the data up correctly with the comparison report data you've separately exported.

    Budgets are not part of the reports architecture of the program at this point. Whether that will change as they continue to build more reports functionality is anyone's guess.

    Thanks, that is what I thought based on looking at the reporting selections.
