More expense categories

ajoy

Break out the "other" expense categories. The 10 limit is ridiculous in this day and age. There should be limitless categories.

Are you talking about what appears on the Dashboard? Because you can create as many categories as you wish.

@ajoy Your profile indicates you are using Quicken Mac; is that correct? As NotACPA says, you can create unlimited categories..Where are you being limited by 10 categories? Is this in the Home > Dashboard "Spending by Category" card, or somewhere else?

If it is that the Dashboard Spending Card only shows 10 categories, it makes sense. It's meant to be a high level overview, not full detail.

Here's an alternative. Go to the All Transactions register (or any other group or individual account register) and click the Spending tab near the top. You'll see the same kind of pie chart and a list of all categories in that register group. Is this what you're looking for?

@ajoy If it is the Dashboard card you're talking about, there's a way to make it show more categories — 40 or more — if that's what you're after. But I'm not sure if that's what you're talking about until you reply.
