Why don't sub-categories roll-up properly?

KTPhoenix

This is a current budget report. The roll-up for Tax incorrectly sums to 18,618.28; it should only show 1683.72. Yes, I've chose to exclude some sub-categories from the report but for some reason they still appear in the roll-up. Chosing to exclude the categories from the report should exclude them from the roll-up otherwise the report is inaccurate and misleading and could lead to bad decisions. How do I fix this?

No body has an explanation for this obvious report issue? The numbers in a report should add up, otherwise the report is useless and misleading. At the very least, but not entirely useful, there should be a line on the report to identify the missing $16,934.46 (the difference between the 18,618 and 1683.72) so that the numbers on the report add up. 🤑

Perhaps no one has responded because no one else is experiencing this issue.
