Possible to change display of category breadcrumbs?

Is it possible to hide the preceding category when clicking into the piechart?

For example, the first photo shows all of the main categories that I am trying to clean up and just have three main categories: Personal, Business, and Rental

If I create these three main categories, and have sub categories with sub sub categories, clicking into the pie chart displays ALL the sub sub categories right away with the whole path of the expense (photo 2). Is there a setting so that I can have the sub category display in the second photo be just like the main category display with no preceding category titles and it won't list the succeeding sub categories until you click into it?

    I don't know of any way to customize the pie charts as you would like. Try running textual reports instead. Those will show subcategories indented from their parent categories and will be easier to read.

    Quicken's charts are not very configurable. You may be able to get the results you want by exporting the report data to Excel and plotting it there.

    Also rather than having main categories as broad as Personal, Business, and Rental, you might want to use Category Groups for that level. You can then easily select just one group at a time in the Spending by Category report for more detailed reporting and the pie chart will not show the group name. Category Groups also flow nicely into Quicken's Budgets.
