When I created my budget, I chose to use only some subcategories within in a main category. I understand that Quicken creates a subcategory called "everything else" to capture the other subcategories even though I don't use them.
When I run the budget vs. actual report, the "everything else' subcategory moves up to category level with the name <b>Everything else<b> and has a budget amount equal to all the subcategories and categories between the category it belongs in and where it pops up in the report. It has no actual value since there are no entries in the unused subcategories and the budget amount doesn't seem to be added back to the overall total expenses. The <b>Everything else<b> shows up somewhere below each category that has subcategories.
I can make this go away by including all the subcategories with in a category in my budget and reporting. It adds a lot of lines with no useful information to the report. I started using your budgeting tool to avoid having to re-enter information in a spreadsheet just to get a readable report.
