Hi there, @KenSmith.

Thank you for visiting us today. I can share the difference between checking and unchecking the "Except zero amount" box on the reports.

You have a lot of options in customizing QuickBooks Online (QBO) reports. One of which is the "Except zero amount" box.

Checking this box will leave the field blank if it has no corresponding information. However, if you uncheck it, the report will automatically zero out the fields.

Please see this sample report below.

That should keep you going today, @KenSmith. Let me know if you have additional questions about customizing reports. I'm still here to help you more. Have a good one!
