The infamous non-totaling Budget Report by Category Group

For many years now my budget report has not totaled when showing by Category Group. For a long time, I thought it was due to a mixture of Income and Expense categories in a couple groups even though I specified the Mixed / Default Group Type in the Budget.

However! I have discovered the problem may actually be one of totaling Category Groups when there are categories with amounts that were not budgeted.

I say this because:

  1. When the budget report is set to show Non-Zero Actual/Budgeted categories, the totals do not show in a category group that is not a mix of income and expense categories but has some unbudgeted categories.
  2. When the budget report is set to show only Budgeted Categories, the totals show in all category groups - both those with mixed income and expenses categories and unmixed.

Help Quicken Corporate, you are our only hope!
