I think I've found a solution which gets rid of the Everything Else line in budget reports

I have come up with a solution which eliminates the "Everything Else" line in my budget report. Perhaps this will work for others who wonder why this line has suddenly shown up in their reports. The line appeared in my reports whenever I had an income or expense category which was a subcategory of a higher level category AND which I did not choose to include in my budget. As an example, I would have a category A which would have 3 subcategories B C and D; if I only included categories B and D in the budget, the Everything Else category would show up in my report. The solution was to include the missing category C in my budget (with budget values of zero). My explanation for this is that the currrent version of Quicken for Windows looks for all categories to be budgeted and puts a placeholder in wherever a category is not budgeted. Sometimes Quicken assigns values to that placeholder line; If that happens, those values do not appear to be included in totals or subtotals. To keep budget reports from being way too long as a result of having all the budget lines, simply choose the Advanced Report Option which picks up lines only when the actual AND the budget for that category are not both zero.
