Why can't I click on a total in a report to get the details? That has been a great feature for years!

I don't see anything in the preferences to address this. What am I missing?

Hello, Donna.

I appreciate taking the time to clarify and provide more details about the issue. I'm dropping by to help you fix the QuickZoom feature on the Profit & Loss report.

Before we do the necessary troubleshooting steps. make sure you have the needed updates for the 2022 version. This can help us avoid any issues when using the program.

If you've already updated it, let's do the following steps to help you resolve the QuickZoom issue.

A high click speed can affect how programs' pop-up windows would behave. You also mentioned about the right-click function giving you the necessary details from the report.

If you've changed your mouse settings, you'll want to change them back to their default options. I'd recommend checking Microsoft's support channels or help pages for this.

Also if you're using a multi-monitor setup, you'll want to adjust your monitor settings. There are limitations when using this setup, and this might affect certain QuickBooks pages from popping up.

This article can guide you on what to change for your settings: Use QuickBooks on multiple screens or in Multi-Monitor mode.

You'll also want to drag and move QuickBooks to your primary monitor

If the QuickZoom function still won't work, then let's run the QuickBooks Tool Hub utility. Here's how:

Download the latest Tool Hub version from this article: Fix common problems and errors with the QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub.
Run the installer after downloading.
Once installed, open the Tool Hub program.
Click the Program issues tab to start the fixing process.

I can share some information about running reports in QuickBooks Desktop, @Donna WLP.

Can you tell me more about the report that you're referring to? That will help me check here on my end.

It actually depends on the report that you're trying to generate. Just like the Profit & Loss Detail report, you can click on the Totals to open the Custom Transaction Detail report.

You can refer to the following article for more information about running and customizing any report that you generate: Customize reports in QuickBooks Desktop.

Check out this tutorial to learn how to make the same settings of a customized report available for future use: Create, access and modify memorized reports.

I'm always here if you need more help or follow-up questions about your reports. I'm always glad to help in any way I can. Have a great rest of the day!

I am looking at the P&L. I should be able to click on any dollar amount and see the detail, but I can't. When I right click, I get the font info, but when I left click nothing happens.
