Old quicken had this feature, can't find for the life of me on this program for several years now. Why haven't they fixed this problem, there certainly has been enough time to figure it out???!!! Thank you and I hope fix will happen soon.

    First issue: if you're using Quicken 2017, there will never be graphs and pie charts added, because that is discontinued and no longer supported software. Any new features will be added to the current subscription version, but not to Quicken 2017.

    Second issue: the developers have user requests for hundreds and hundreds of features. While this may be of top importance to you, many of those other features are of top importance to other users. Because adding functionality to Quicken can be complex and time-consuming, the developers pick and choose a limited number of features to work on at any given time, and so far adding graphs hasn't made it to the top of their list. No one outside their inner circle can answer why they've picked features "A" or "B" or "C" but not "D"… nor whether "D" is in their future plans… nor when "D" is planned.

    @DocGer Yes, you're correct — the Spending and Income pie charts exist in Quicken 2017. This feature is unchanged over the years.

    I was referring above to the inability to create custom graphs, like custom reports, as one could do in the old Quicken 2007. (It seemed to me that was what @ohialani was referring to.)
