Creating Custom Reports Question

Okay, I didn't actually see that option up there, I was only looking in the "Report Center" before. This is kind of what I was looking for, but maybe I'm missing something.

Say for example I wanted to recreate or modify an existing report, using "Inventory Valuation Summary" as an example.

So I choose Summary instead of Transaction under the menu you mentioned earlier. I choose "Display rows by: Item Detail" and I can get the rows to look the same, however, I don't see any option to add/create columns? There's a "Show Columns" option, but it doesn't let me choose any of the options that are available on the report I mentioned above, and as soon as I choose one of the categories, all of the columns from the category I previously had selected disappear. 

What am I doing wrong?

Hi there,

You can view the reports shared by BigRedConsulting by going to the Reports menu. Let me guide you with these steps:

1. Click the Reports menu and then select Custom.
2. Select either Summary or Detailed.
3. Filter the data that you want to see on the report.

Feel free to browse this reference for more information about customizing report: Customize reports

I'll be around if there's anything that I can help with. Keep safe!

That's already where I was, unfortunately. Also, that link is the same link I posted in my original post which wasn't working for me yesterday, but now it is!

I guess I'll give it a look over and see what I can do, otherwise I'll just use the Quickbooks SDK to do what I need, just was looking for something easier :). (Because it looks like to do what I truly want within QuickBooks I would need the Enterprise version unfortunately!)

Thanks for the responses!

RE: What am I doing wrong?

Nothing. You can't do that.  Many of the canned reports use special axis that are otherwise unavailable. 

QuickBooks reports are quite powerful and generally work great.. until they don't. There are a lot of limitations as they basic types of reports are limited. For truly custom reports, you basically have to extract the data and roll your own.
