Please log in for more thread options Have you looked at Quicken's reporting capabilities? I created a report
that gave me activities for all investment accounts from the beginning.
After some tweaking, I got close to what I was looking for. After the
report generates "right click" and select either copy to clipboard or
export to XL (I like the clipboard).
Once in XL I sort, filter, move, etc. to my heart's content.
