View Bill Totals for the Month

Question

Is there a way to view the total value of my bills entered in the Bill Reminders and Online Bills area for a given time period - like for the month?  I'd like to be able to see a total value at the beginning of a month for budgeting/planning purposes.  I looked over the reports and didn't find anything there.

@mshiggins I looked into the "All Transactions" screen but this only seems to show past transactions.  When I change the date range to some time in the future (for example April 1 to April 30th) then nothing displays although I do have many reminders set up for April.

@tapierce have you tried the All Transactions register? You can access it from the link at the top of the Account Bar, normally shown on the left side of your Quicken screen. For searching and checking other info across multiple accounts, the All Transactions register is one of the best Quicken features.

Set up your Reminders that you want to see "in the future" to "Auto enter "X" days in advance.  An "X" of 35 days(or more)  would easily cover a "month" from any "today" you might want to select.  Then customize the Spending by Payee report as discussed above, again selecting only Payees and Accounts you want to see, and save the report.  Set the time period for the future month you're interested in.
