Diary Columns Tab

Use the Columns tab to select or clear columns, change column sequence, provide new column labels, set column widths, or select number and date formats.

The columns that display transaction detail information only contain data if you select Transaction Detail on the Sorting/Grouping tab of the Options dialog box. If you do not select Transaction Detail, the column headings display for the transaction detail columns but the columns are blank.
