Income vs. Expenses Report

Hello and Happy New Year! Every year I print out prior years Income and Expense Report. This time, I noticed that the print was covering 4 pages because of several new listed Expenses. The only problem is there are zero amounts (0.00) in the 'Overall Total" column for multiple Expenses. How can I remove these listed Expenses with Zero amounts? Thank you!

    And a Happy New Year to you and yours, too!

    When I print my Income/Expense by Category report for last year, I also have the problem with the report spanning across two sheets of paper, because the number of columns do not fit one one sheet.
    Experimenting with my printer settings, I can print on 8.5x14" Legal paper … which still doesn't fit the entire report on one sheet.
    Further experimenting, I selected to print on 11x17" paper. The printer setup correctly refused this setting because paper this large will not fit into this printer. However, I was given a choice of printing to '11x17" → 8.5x14" Legal', meaning print with reduced size so an 11x14" page image will fit on 8.5x14". That worked well.

    So, if your printer supports a similar size reduction setup and you have larger size paper on hand, try it to see if that works better for you.

    As far as the 0.00 amounts are concerned:
    Are there any transactions in your registers which reference these categories, either with a 0.00 split amount or with a non-zero expense in one month and an equal amount of refund in another (e.g., you bought shoes in May and returned them for a refund in June)?
    The report is based on transactions using these categories. If there's a transaction on file, the report will show the category. Drill down in the report to locate transactions for these categories and see what's up with them …

    As far as the report not printing categories on each sheet, I wish the report could be made to optionally print categories on each and every sheet.

    Thank you. I did drill down and find that it was a Negative Bank Charge then a Positive which zeroed out the totals. I did move those to another category which removed the zeroed columns from my report. Thank you again.
