My memorized report is forgetting its filter

I've created a Time by Job Detail report, filtered it by a particular Customer:Job and memorized it.

 

When I close the report and rerun it from the Memorized Reports list, the filter I'd previously set is missing. All time entries from all jobs are displayed, as though I'd run the report for the first time via the Reports\Jobs, Time & Mileage submenu.

 

Things I've tried:

 

  1. Deleting the memorized report and recreating it
  2. Resetting the filter after running the report and memorizing it again, opting to replace the original
  3. Re-sorting the Memorized Reports list
  4. Running a Verify Data task from the File\Utilities submenu
  5. Running a Rebuild Data task from the File\Utilities submenu
  6. Renaming the Customer:Job to omit apostrophes (just in case)

 

This appears to be a bug. Can someone confirm whether they're getting the same results?

 

Thanks,

My memorized report is forgetting its filter

I appreciate you for sharing the troubleshooting steps you’ve performed in fixing your memorized report, Jeff 

 

I can share with you some steps on how to get around this issue. Let’s ensure the software run smoothly, you’ll want to download the latest release of QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). This way, we can guarantee the software is packed with the newest features and fixes.

 

If this is not the case, I recommend running our QuickBooks Tool Hub to isolate this. This tool scans your company file for issues and fixes them right away. Let me show you how.

 

  1. Close your QuickBooks.
  2. Download our QuickBooks Tool Hub
  3. Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
  4. Follow the on-screen steps to install.
  5. When the install finishes, open the tool hub on your Windows desktop.
  6. From the tool hub, select Company File Issues.
  7. Select Quick Fix my File.
  8. Click OK when it completes and launch your QuickBooks.
  9. Start QuickBooks Desktop and open your data file.

 

You can also check this article for more details and additional troubleshooting steps: Fix company file and network issues with QuickBooks File Doctor.

 

Let me also add this link that you can use for reference in case you need to export your report in the future: Export reports as Excel workbooks in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

I’ll be around to help you if you need further assistance managing your reports or with your QuickBooks. It’s always my pleasure to assist and ensure you’re in working order. Have a good one and stay safe.

Thank you for the additional advice, but neither of the tools worked. Quick Fix didn't make a difference, nor did File Doctor. In fact, File Doctor reported that it didn't find any issues.

 

Exporting to Excel and filtering there isn't an option. This task must be accomplished entirely within QuickBooks.

 

I'm running 2018 Premier with plans to upgrade to 2021 at some point soon. But it's going to be a while yet, in any case.

 

Do you have any ideas about what I can try next?

 

Thanks,

Hello @InteXX,

 

Thank you for letting me know about the troubleshooting steps you tried and the results to access your memorized reports with the correct filters accordingly. Let's continue our troubleshooting steps so you can get back to business in no time.

 

Normally, QuickBooks needs repair if the integrated tools and tool hub didn't resolve the issue you wish to get rid of. Let me show you how.

  1. Go to Start.
  2. Select Control Panel.
  3. Under Program and Features, select Uninstall a Program.
  4. From the list of applications, select QuickBooks.
  5. Select Uninstall/Change.
  6. Click Repair.

Additionally, I've also included this reference for a compilation of articles you can use while working with us: Know where you stand financially.

 

If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know in the comments. I'll be here to lend a helping hand.
