I want to keep track for a specific item on spending.

I want to add it to add a view. How do I go about that?

That specific item is not listed in the available items.

    Hi Paul, appreciate your question.

    We need some more information in order to assist you:

    What version of Windows or Mac OS are you using?
    Also need to know what version and release of Quicken you are using. You must be on the latest release (patch) level for your supported Quicken version. If you're missing patches, update your software first.
    Click Help / About Quicken (Mac: Quicken / About Quicken) to determine year/version and release.

    Please let us know so that we can best help you.

    Paul,
    let me see if I understand you correctly ...

    You want to track, how much you are spending on, for example Auto Expenses. Correct?

    One way of doing this would be to add a new view page to the Home tab (or customize an existing one) and add a Budget view. Customize the Budget view to show the Auto category and all its subcategories.

    Another way would be to create a customized report, e.g., "How much am I spending on ...?"
    Select the Auto Category and all its subcategories.
    Select the desired Date Range, e.g. Year to Date.
    Save the report.
    For one-click access to this report, Saved Reports can be added to the Quicken Toolbar.

    Thanks Harold worked on the auto expenses I created; now I’m
    trying to track a different separate expense - a trailer I purchased and what I
    put into it.

    I want to do it like the auto is set up, I can’t because the
    customize option doesn’t have that option like the auto expense.

    Maybe the category is set up wrong?

    Spoke too soon - under the options there it was, as long as I've be using Quicken I never put it into full use until now. Thanks Harold for the other tips.

    Maybe the programmers can extend the date further back than last month due to the purchase was made in the middle of 2017.
