Reports

In previous versions, for example, Quicken Deluxe 2013, if I clicked on "category list" I had a menu listing all categories. Then when selecting a specific category (for example, "auto"), and then right clicking, I could get a category report. This was a very convenient feature. I want this feature back. Is there a way to make this feature available in current versions? I used to use it frequently. Will you please restore this feature? OR is a category or subcategory report available somewhere else?

Hello @bhughes1218,
While this feature isn't available directly from Category List at this point, there are other ways to get this kind of report. If you are looking at a transaction, with the category auto for example just right-click on the category from inside of the transaction and you will see the option "Launch Mini Report for Category "Auto" Tip; you can also do this for payees! Additionally, you can create category reports under Reports > Spending > Itemized Categories. Then use the customize feature to specify which categories, accounts, etc you would like to see included in the report. I hope this helps!

Still works for me in my subscription version (which isn't the "latest and greatest" version).

I suggest you add visibility of the Usage column to the Category List window: select Tools > Category List, the gear icon on the upper right, check Usage, and select Done. To do simple reports for a single category from the category list, select a usage count that is not zero.

Jade, when a report is generated from spending, reports, the result is ALL the categories, then you have to scroll to the one you want... it is just too time consuming, frustrating and not specific enough. And the other suggestions are also cumbersome and incomplete. Thanks for input.0

Interesting. I don't think I ever noticed that the report option was missing for the zero usage categories.Sherlock said:I suggest you add visibility of the Usage column to the Category List window: select Tools > Category List, the gear icon on the upper right, check Usage, and select Done.

@bhughes1218 - That feature is still available in the newest versions. But it doesn't show in a category that has not activity. I noticed that you are right clicking on the "Auto & Transport" category which has no transactions associated with it. Therefore, the report option is suppressed. As @sherlock mentioned, add the "Usage" column to the view and then you will always know what categories you can do a report on.0
