You are correct. What is on the screen is the table. And it can be cut and pasted into a spreadsheet. I agree it is not well documented. One area where the documentation is "wrong" is "Primary Subtotal". For my report, the Primary Key is the Number field. I have checked the Primary Subtotal checkbox, yet get NO subtotals. For this account, I am using the Number field like a Quicken Class so I can group transactions together. I would like to subtotal based upon the number field.
