No.  'P&L" is the abbreviated term for "Profit and Loss."  

No, "P&L" is an abbreviation for "Profit and Loss."  Where did you get payroll???

Appreciate the update, @kahandler-me-com.

May I know what are you trying to run saying it is not a Profit and Loss report or a payroll? Are you trying to run a payroll or is it something else?

Keep me updated in the comments below. Hope to hear from you soon. Take care always!

I'm sorry, I don't understand why this isn't clear.  I am running a "Profit and Loss by Tags' report.  I am customizing the report to include certain tags, and I also want to customize the accounts it includes, or more specifically, does NOT include.   I am selecting all of the accounts to start with and then UNSELECTING the one bank account I don't want to have it's transactions included in the results.   However, when I run the report, all the transactions that flowed through the bank account I don't want included are still showing up on the P&L report.  WHY and How to do exclude them.

5. In the Columns drop-down menu, select the correct group name.
