Reports (Mac)
Group by Category, and Sub-Group by Payee --- PLEASE!!!
toddz
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!

There is

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.
