In QWin that's not possible, so I'd be surprised if it's possible in QMac.Mind telling us why you want to do so? Maybe there's an alternative.[just occurred to me] Can you make that column so narrow that NONE of the amounts show?I stand corrected (see below). Reminds me that I should have checked before shooting from the hip.

F.y.i., Quicken for Windows users can remove all the account balances and the Net Worth / Ending Balance grand total from the Account Sidebar:
Click the gear icon in the Account Sidebar's title line.
Click to remove the checkmark at Show amounts.0 -

In Quicken Mac, I believe they added to option to hide the net worth total so that if a user is showing their Quicken to a family member or friend, they don't have to have their net worth instantly disclosed.

But the OP didn't state a desire to hide all account balances …. just the Total, which is why I asked that question.
Seems odd, to me, to hide the Total but not the individual amounts.

One can easily collapse a section of the sidebar, like Investing or Debt, so as to not show the balances of every account. But before they added the option, there was no way to prevent the sidebar from showing the total/net worth.

Maybe this is an instance where QMac and QWin work differently … but if I collapse a section of the sidebar, say "Investing", I'm still shown the Investing total, just not the individual account amounts

@NotACPA Yup, it dawned on me just as I was posting my previous comment that I didn't know if Mac and Windows sidebar preferences were the same. On Quicken Mac, you can show/hide account balances, main group balances (e.g. Investing), Sub-Group balance (e.g. Retirement), and the grand Total (no longer called "net worth" in the sidebar because there can be a few differences between the sidebar total and your actual net worth):
If I hide everything and collapse subgroups, I can have a very minimalistic sidebar with no dollar amounts:
Even when I expand a subgroup to select an account, with all the view options unchecked, you'd see my account names but no amounts.
I'm not sure how practical this is, but it allows users to tweak what they see however they want.
