How do I create a chart ("widget") that is broken down by TAG?

How do I create a chart ("widget") that is broken down by TAG?

 

I have used tags for different R&D Prototyping expenses; each R&D project/product has it's own tag (e.g., "Prototyping: AS-1"). I want to have a chart (in the Performance Center) that shows how much has been spent on R&D per tag (i.e. project/product).

 

There doesn't seem to be a way (that I can find) to break down expenses by tags. If it's not possible to breakdown charts by tags, it makes the custom charting and reporting quite limited.

How do I create a chart ("widget") that is broken down by TAG?

Tags are a great way to organize your data, @themrlawrence, and while the Performance Center in QuickBooks Online doesn’t currently support creating charts or widgets broken down by tags, there is still a way to get the insights you need. To achieve the breakdown of expenses by tags, you can use custom reports instead. Here’s how:

 

  1. Go to the Reports menu.
  2. In the search bar, look for Transaction List by Tag Group.
  3. Open the report and customize it:
    • Use the Customize button in the top-right corner.
    • Under the Filter section, choose the specific Tag Group, and add filters for the data you want (e.g., expenses only, date range, accounts).                                 
  4. Run the report to view R&D expenses grouped by tags.


Alternatively, you can explore third-party app that integrate with QuickBooks to offer more advanced charting options directly within the Performance Center.
