Quicken produces a bunch of different reports. How do you know which one provides the answers you want? What are you supposed to do? Sift your way through a couple dozen of these babies? Thankfully, the answer is no. Quicken provides something called EasyAnswer reports. In effect, EasyAnswer reports let you identify the question that you want a report to answer. After you identify the question, Quicken produces the appropriate report. Here's how it all works: Choose Reports, EasyAnswer Reports And Graphs.
Quicken displays the EasyAnswer topic of the Reports & Graphs window.
Indicate you question.
To tell Quicken what your question is, click one of the questions and then use the drop-down list boxes that accompany each question to further refine you question. For example, the "Where did I spend my money?" question lets you pick the period of time you're asking about: Last Year, Last Month, Current Year, Month to Date, and so on.
Click Show Report.
Quicken produces a report that answers your question. If you asked the question, "Where did I spend my money last year?" for example, Quicken produces a cash flow report that summarizes the previous year's income and expenses by category.
