Why isn't there a balance column on the register report?

A register report instead has two amount columns that print duplicate information. I've been forced to extract to Excel and add formulas to make my own balance column.

The Register report is a customized version of the Banking Transactions report, which can include multiple accounts and thus the running balance would not be meaningful. But it would certainly be useful to have a running balance when just viewing one account.

The column selection is not as flexible as the Register report, but but you can print or export the register directly by going to File -> Print <Account name> while viewing the register.

I have no idea how it's possible to have two Amount columns in your register report unless you're using a Saved Report, saved in an earlier version of Quicken.
In that case I recommend you bring up the saved report and go into the Customize dialog. Next to the list of columns selected for this report there will be a "Reset columns" button.
Click this button, then repeat the selection of columns you wish to see in the report. When done save the report again, making sure you replace the old saved report version.

This is what I'm using. As far as I know, this is not a memorized report.

Try clicking on Reset Columns below the list of columns; hopefully that will fix your problem of multiple Amount columns.

Unfortunately the Register report does not have a running balance column.
