Year to date Income and Expenses by Category

We just finished the first quarter of 2033 and I was looking on producing a report showing me the first quarter of 2022 vs. the first quarter of 2023. Unfortunately, the report I was able to produce shows all 4 quarters of 2022 broken down by quarter and then the first quarter of 2023. Is there a way to produce a report showing only the 1st quarter of 2022 vs the 1st quarter of 2023??

Set the date range to Quarterly and First Quarter 2023. Leave the Compare to setting at Prior year period.

Thank you very much, the Quicken Analyst could not figure this out

I hadn't looked at this report before and it seems useful. But it appears the numeric signs are the opposite of what I'd expect. If I spent more on something this year than last year, I'd expect the difference to be positive. But it's negative red in this report. That is, in Expenses, the difference is (last_year - this_year) when I'd expect the reverse. Do others see this as well and agree? Or am I the one that's backward?
