How about a sub-account for each charity, as Geoff suggested, and *zero* tags? Once you have the sub-accounts and use them, you can track the charity by running a transaction report. Go to options, select Donations and all the sub accounts on the accounts tab, and set the desired date range on the General tab. Look at the other options while you're there to see if you want to change anything.
When I do the above, I get a report of all my donations, grouped and subtotaled by charity. -- *Jim * On Sun, Apr 28, 2024 at 9:26 PM <hh8...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > This means a sub category for each charity. > > Now, if we have c categories and t tags, in Quicken we'd have c*t number > of combination.
