Hi there,

Thanks for the work around (it's less than ideal however as in order to revise the new total on the spreadsheet, it's necessary to individually add up the sub total cells, so a bit of a pain!).

It would be great to request this option to filter out closed/rejected estimates from this report, from a business point of view.

Thanks!

Absolutely agree with OP.

I know Intuit is working hard to add new features to QBO - however, the only point of entering the data is so that we can retrieve it in meaningful reports.

We really need to be able to filter this report by quote status.

Can we get an update on this please?

An estimates and invoicing summary that includes closed or rejected estimates is only useful for understanding proposal generation volume but it is pretty useless for understanding backlog. Please add the ability for the user to filter out rejected and closed estimates. Or, give is the ability to permanently remove estimates when there is no linked invoicing activity.

Filtering estimates by status has been a need for too long! This report is nearly useless without additional filtering. Adding a filter for estimate status could be added by a 3rd grader.

The whole QB online report system sucks compared to the desktop version.

We need more filter control in all reports but this one is a must!!!!

The online version of QB requires me to use a calculator to figure out items that should come out of the report.

I spend hours more using the online version compared to desktop version just doing billing due to reports and how invoicing doesn't show previous invoiced amounts. But that is another thread I need to complain on.

I can't believe this still has not been added, seems so easy! Sure makes all these price increases seem worth it! Can't wait until we get the QBO version of FreeTaxUSA and Intuit goes bye bye!
