Hi Tom,
One more way we can select an account on the Accounts tab of the report
options window is to "expand and search", repeat...
For example (assuming Windows), click on the arrow pointing at Expenses,
Ctrl + F, start to type "Food", click on the arrow pointing a Food, Ctrl
+ F, start to type "Groceries".

Sherlock

Hi Sherlock,
Thanks for that second tip. I definitely prefer a Transaction Report to
an Account Report. And using that Filter tab lets me select whatever
specific account I want. I also see how I can select multiple accounts
via that Filter as well. All I have to do is check the option to "Use
regular expressions" and I can expand the filter to select several
accounts that I might want to include. So thanks again for your help.

Hi Tom,
Open the account register, right-click on a transaction and select
Filter By..., set the desired date range, then select Report > Account
Report.
If you do want to use Report > Transaction Report and the account name
is unique, you go to Report Options, select all the accounts on the
Account tab and provide the account's name on the Filter tab.

Hi Sherlock,
Thanks for the suggestion. Going to the account register does let me
select an Account Report. The problem with that though is that it
gives me every transaction back to the beginning of time (or in my
case the past 20+ years). How would I select a report from within
the account register that shows just the current year's transactions?

Hi Tom,
Open the account register first and then select Reports > Account
Report.

Hi all,
Is there some easy way to quickly select an Account for a
Transaction Report? When I select Reports -> Transaction Report,
it will say "No accounts selected"; and there's a link to "Edit
report options". So in the Options window, I select the "Accounts"
tab. And I'll be able to select from my list of over 250 accounts.
But only the first 2 or 3 of all those 250 accounts are visible in
that dialog box. I have to manually scroll down thru that long
250- accounts list to get to the 1 sub-account that I'm actually
interested in.
For this example here, let's say it's Expenses:Food:Groceries. Is
there an easy way to select just that 1 Groceries sub-account for a
report without having to manually scroll down thru all those 250
accounts that I'm not interested in?
FYI, I tried manually typing "Expenses:Food" to see if that would
get me close; but that doesn't work.
Tom
