I have a strange situation when building an hours detail report for one specific job.
I build the report starting with the "Time by job detail", changed the filters to select a specific job, saved the report. When I click on that specific memorized report, the filters have been removed and the report runs data for all jobs!
This does not happen with any other job that I created reports for.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what I can do differently?
Thank you
I'm happy to help you figure this out, @Cindy Croft.
Let's get your memorized Time by Job Detail report resolve by doing some tricks. This way, the chosen filter will hang on from that report.
To begin, let's make sure that your QuickBooks Desktop account is in the latest release (R5). To keep your software up-to-date and fix some problems.
Here's how to check:
2. If it's not updated, go to the Help menu and choose Update QuickBooks Desktop.
3. Click Update Now, then Get Updates.
4. Restart the computer and install the new release.
For more details, check out this article: Update QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release.
After that, I'd recommend re-access the memorized report to verify if the filter is functioning thoroughly. If the issue keeps going, please run the verify and rebuild tool. This tool scans your company file for issues and fixes them right away. Let me show you how.

I apologize, I mistakenly listed that I am using Quickbooks Desktop and should have listed it under QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions.
I do have the most current build and I did do the "verify data" but there were no issues found and I am still unable to run that specific job report from a "memorized" report.
If you have any other solutions to try, I am willing to give them a go.
Thank you.

Folks, as far as i can tell QuickBooks Desktop memorized reports DO NOT save filters status. You can update and reinstall forever if you want.
So when you give this advice you either don't understand the question, do not know the answer or you making excuses for the software, and frustrating and wasting time of the person seeking info.
If anyone can show me how to do this in QB Desktop, I'll eat my words.
Let's go through some steps to memorize reports with customized filters in QuickBooks Desktop, Fatih.
In QuickBooks Desktop, you can save customized reports to avoid having to redo the customization every time you need the report.
Here's how to do this:
After going through these steps, the report's customization settings will be saved. You can then access the report by following these steps:
If the issue persists and you've already performed the troubleshooting steps provided by my colleague above, I'd recommend reaching out to our Customer Care Team. They can conduct further investigation as to why your report's filters aren't being saved.
For more information, you can refer to this article: Create, access and modify memorized reports.
You might also want to merge financial reports from multiple company files. Here's a detailed guide on how to do that: Combine reports from multiple company files.
Let me know how it goes by using the comment section below, Fatih. If you need further assistance about running or memorizing reports, I'll be around to help you out. Keep safe!
Hi maybe, I did a bad job of explaining.
Yes it saves the filters but not their status.
So I create a profit report. Then I carefully collapse the filters to reduce to get the rows to what I need.
I memorize it.
Close and open, I need to re-collapse all of them. Even If a change a setting like date range, all the rows expand again.
Thanks
I hear you, Fatih. Thanks for clearing out your concern.
I'm joining this thread to share more details about the row filters not applying when trying to memorize a report.
Currently, we can toggle the Collapse Rows to remove the dropdown or the contents of the specific rows you'd like to exclude, resulting in summarizing it into one row. However, this action does not apply indefinitely when changing the date range. The rows will appear again, and we'll have to manually toggle them back to remove them from view.
This feature is intended for detailing your reports conveniently, however, our goal is to enhance our services so we can suit your business requirements. With that, you can reach out to our product engineers and submit your feedback to have this feature applied in the coming updates. Here's how:
