Is there a way to display all data on each line of a report with splits?

I use Excel to further manipulate and report transaction data from Quicken. When I generate a Quicken transaction report that shows splits, the first entry for the split in the report contains data for the Date, Account and Description for the transaction. However, that information is missing from subsequent lines. When I export and copy that report to Excel, I have to then copy and paste the missing data from that first line of the split transaction to all the other lines for that transaction if I want to be able to sort on those fields in Excel. Depending on the size of the report this can be very time consuming and fraught with opportunity for error. I have not seen any option in Quicken that would cause that data to be included on every line so I'm looking at writing some VB script in Excel to automate the copy and paste of that data, but given that I'm no expert in writing VB code I'd prefer to get the data straight for Quicken.

Any guidance here?

Thanks!

    Nope, sorry, but other than using the Excel copy function, there's no way to do what you ask.
