Net Worth Quicken Mac 2017
I am unable to print a single page Net Worth report from the accounts summary shown in the side bar in Quicken Mac 2017. This can be done in all Windows versions. Is there a way to customize a Net Worth report to show a single column of current values?

Unfortunately, it's not very well done in QM2017. But here are three methods you can use depending on how good you want it to look and how much effort you want to spend:
1. Screenshot: You can take a screenshot of the sidebar and print that. See How to take a screenshot on your Mac for instructions. But, this will print with the gray sidebar. And it only works well if your sidebar fits on screen without scrolling.
2. Customize and Print: Go to the Net Worth Over Time report (Reports menu) and click Customize (upper right). Select which accounts you want to include and set the Date to "This Month". This will give you a single-column report. Note that it will differ from the sidebar by a little if you have future-dated transactions and it's not the end of the month. You can print this report (menu File > Print). But... the formatting is pretty poor: it leaves a large blank area at the top where the graph should be.
3. Export: Unfortunately, the Net Worth Over Time report doesn't have a built-in export feature. But you can do it with a little effort. Starting with the customized report as above:
a) Click just to the left of the word "Account" upper left.
b) Shift-Click just to the right of the MonthYear at the bottom right. You will have selected the entire body of the report.
c) Click Command-C (or menu Edit > Copy).
d) Open an Excel or Numbers spreadsheet and paste. You will end up with one long column of first, account names, and then values.
e) In Excel or Numbers, cut and paste the numbers from the first column into the second column lining up with the account names.
f) Do any other formatting you desire and print.
The export method will give you the best looking results. Doable if you don't have to do it too very often.

For background, you may want to read this post too. BTW, the columnar-type summary report is the basis for MANY other reports, as described in detail in this post a little lower; only the selection and formatting criteria are different.
