Group by Category, and Sub-Group by Payee --- PLEASE!!!

The new reports are so frustrating!

In the OLD reports, a "Transactions by Category" report used TAGS to SUB-GROUP the transactions:

- Shopping
- - Macys
- - Target

But the NEW reports don't do that. I'd need to create a sub-CATEGORY for every tag.

But really, tags themselves were a workaround for what I REALLY want:

Group by Category, and Sub-Group by Payee

That way I wouldn't need to bother entering tags!

Meanwhile, there is somewhat of a way to get a report along the lines of what you're looking for, although not in the format you describe.

• On the reports menu, select Create Summary Report
• Select Rows=Category
• Select Columns=Tag
• Continue to Customize
  
• Set your data parameters, such as Last 12 Months or This Year
• If you wish to limit the report to certain categories or certain accounts or certain tags, set those filters
• Generate the report

The resulting report lists all your categories down the page, and all the tags going across, with a total for each category at the far right. (If you have a large number of tags, it can make for an unwieldy-looking report; it's probably easier to use if you limit the number of categories or have relatively few tags.) This report is a summary, so you're not seeing every transaction -- but you can click on any value in any row and column to get a drill-down report of the transactions comprising that amount. 

I know this isn't the report format you described, but it might help in some cases while ewe wait for more report options.
