Cannot get individual transaction $$ amounts to show up in report.

Question

Income/Expense COmparison by Category (or other Income / Expense report)  -

WIndows 10 , QUicken for Home and Business R.51.12

I can generate a report with totals by category, but I also want to see the individual transaction line items (the description of items show up when expanded) with the dollar amount for each line that contributes to the total.  "Amount is not even listed as an option for display purposes.

What happened to this option? I used to be able to do this.

Thank you.

Click on the gear to customize the report and click on Reset Columns. Hopefully that will fix it.

I have the same issue, and Show Transaction Detail did NOT fix this, UNTIL I did the Reset Columns trick.

This is a pretty obscure trick that ideally should not be necessary… but thank you for the tips.

You mention an easy answer report. What is the exact option you select?

If I select How much did I spend on and specify a Category, the report just shows total spending for the Category. If I click on Update to show and pick Transaction Detail, the transactions and their amounts are shown. I did have to scroll the report to the right to see all the columns.

If I select Has my spending changed in this Category and specify a Category it shows the Cash Flow Comparison report. In that report, double clicking on an amount shows the underlying transactions. Again, I must widen or scroll the report to see the amounts.

If the amounts are not shown, click on the gear at the top right of the report and make sure the Amount column is checked. If Amount is not one of the selections, click on Reset columns and hopefully that will fix it.

Please let us know what you find.
