Printing a sub-category within another category when top level has zero total

KlisterKid

I have created sub-categories that are within sub-categories and are within a category. Occasionally, the top level of a sub-category has no total but the sub-categories do; e.g., a sub for recreational vehicles (RVs) within auto expenses, within RVs are sub-categories for parts, labor, service, and other.

That sounds normal. Are you encountering problems?

If I create sub-categories within a category, I am unable to print the category. When I right click on the category I don't even see "category report" as an option. Only when a category or sub-category do I see an option to print the report.

With this example I have entries for x-port (excluding sports) that a number exceeding zero and sub-categories with numbers exceeding zero.

That popup report in the Category List appears to only apply to the selected category itself and excludes subcategories. You can see the transactions for, e.g., RecVeh:Labor only, but selecting the parent category RecVeh does not show a report for the subcategories of it.

If you wish to see summary or transaction detail reports showing subtotals for each subcategory and rollup totals for each parent category, you need to select a report from the Reports Menu or Reports & Graphs Center. Try Spending by Category for amount totals over time. Or try the Itemized Categories report for a summary view. This report can be expanded to show subtotals for each category and subcategory: click the "Update to Show" button in the report view to drill down from summary to detail levels.

The Budget view, when set to the Annual view, will also show how much you have spent or received for each category by month. If you have set up a budget, you will see if you're above or below budget for each category.
