How can I create a current spending vs average spending report?

Question

When I used Quicken on my PC I could run a report of current month spending vs average of the past x months. I can't seem to find a way to do that on the Mac version. Is there a way to create a custom report that does this? Thanks.

There is no average spending report in Quicken Mac. The only way you could do this would involve exporting to a .csv file and tweaking it in a spreadsheet program. You could create a report  with expenses by month, set the time period for whatever period you want, and export it; then create a column in the report to be the average for the number of months you included.
