Parent Category Report

droopydog53

Is there a way to create a report of just the parent categories? For example, I have a parent category titled "Auto" with the sub categories of "Fuel," "Registration," and "Service." I just want to know the total amount spent for "Auto." I have expenses listed under the sub categories, however, when I deselect those sub-categories, they disappear from the report. Thanks!!

Have you tried the Spending by Category Report?
It comes up, by default, with subcategories showing.
But, if you click "Collapse All", the subcategory lines disappear leaving only the parent category lines.

You do not want to deselect subcategories. As you noticed, that makes their data disappear from the report, giving you incomplete results.
Some reports can also be customized to "Hide all" subcategories. (Customize gear icon of the report view, Advanced tab.)
