negative and positive checkbook entries

My check register report shows every entry as a positive and a negative, which clutters up the report. Is there an easy way of dealing with this so I can get a clean report, with deposits as positive and withdrawals as negative?

I can show you the Detail Level filter, fgerbode.

 

When running a report in QuickBooks, the output is controlled by the Filters set for that report.

 

The Detail Level is one such filter and it has 3 settings. These are the levels:

 

  • All - shows both the individual line items and the total.
  • Summary only - shows only the transaction total.
  • All except summary - shows only the detail lines and excludes the transaction total.

 

To filter the report, you can follow the steps below.

 

  1. Open the report that you need.
  2. Click Customize Report.
  3. Go to the Filters tab.
  4. Select Detail Level filter, then Summary Only.

 

I've collected some articles where you can get additional details about managing reports.

I don't know of any canned report named "check register".

 

If you're using a standard transaction detail report, you can filter it to show only the summary row for each transaction. Set the Detail Level filter to Summary Only.

 

Alternately, filter the report for the bank account, which may work better, and then it'll only include detail rows that use the bank account.

I wanted to include all accounts, so did not want to filter out my credit card accounts.

I could not find the Detail level filter.  Can you give me a steer?

 

Thanks!
