Maybe I am missing something. get any kind of data you want. If you can't get a report to look just right, you can export the data to Excel and do literally anything to it. If you're using Money Essentials, never mind. Return it and get a better version. -- Steve Bell New Life Home Improvement Arlington, TX |

| I am having problems trying to find a quick and direct answer to questions like: How much did I spend in (category/subcategory) this year? If I go to the Categories screen and choose a category or subcategory of interest, Money shows me the total of how much I have spent in that category ever. There is no place to ask for a timeframe (I am mostly interested in year by year). What I usually end up doing is going to budget and asking it to show me the current year (I use Savings and Spending). The problem with this is that I only get the expenses by subcategory, not by category. Is there a place where I can get this information easily, without having to work around the limitations of the Categories and the Budget screens? Maybe I am missing something. Thank you! |
