earliest to date

Using Q02, for some reports I can show data going back one year or choose either 'earliest to date' or 'include all dates'.

Either of those choices goes back to 1911 which makes some reports useless because there are too many data points.

Is there a way to change the earliest date used by Quicken? Thanks, Carl

Delete those old transactions.

You can also set your own date range, specifying the oldest and newest dates exactly.

John, You were right. I found a typo in a closed and hidden account that caused the earliest date of 1911. I fixed it.

Now, my earliest date is 1980, which is valid. But, I would prefer not to go back that far in a report. Can you please tell me how and where to set my own date range?

Thanks, Carl

Yes, that is what I was referring to. To Quicken, "earliest" means earliest transaction date anywhere in your file; I know of no way to change that interpretation.

I have long wished for a couple of additional "thru" date options: "today" and "most recent month end"; available for use with a fixed "from" date. Then you could select your own "earliest" date and memorize the report to give a consistent range of transactions without months/years of no activity.

But even without those "thru" date options, you can still memorize reports with a fixed date range where the "from" date is *your* choice of "earliest" date, then modify the thru date when you create the report, to get a range to your liking.
