Report showing budget v actual for multiple years, with each year's budget

I would like to construct a historical report showing how closely my actual expenditures tracked my budgeted expenditures for, say, 3 back years.

But, when I try, it shows the actual expenditures for each of the 3 years, compared to the budget for only one of the years, which defeats the purpose of assessing my accuracy.

Other than running a separate report for each past year — with that year's budget — exporting all 3 to Excel, and then somehow combining them into one Excel report, is there a way to do that?

    Nope, Quicken can only show one budget year at a time. Running it year by year and constructing what you want in Excel is what you will need to do

    The "Historical Budget" report sounds like it might do that. But it serves a different purpose.
