How to delete a column on existing report

[LindaTruett]

I have run the report "statement of Activities" for possible distribution as a simple financial report in our monthly business meeting. The columns "Temporarily Restricted" and "Permanently Restricted" are not needed. Is there any way to hide or delete these columns?

Standard reports are not editable. In this case, the report is designed as a report of such Restrictions.

Thank you for that prompt reply. Is there a way to create a new report without those columns and maybe name it something else? I am a novist at this, not a programmer.

You would have to create a custom report, and that does involve some work. Exactly what are you trying to provide your board, it may actual be covered by an existing standard report, and all you would need to do is tweak what appears there.

The other alternative is to save the Activities report to a MS Word or Excel file and delete the columns there. That may be the easiest way to go.

I know this is an old thread, but just curious. The statement of activities report without the restriction columns is the income and expense report. Is there a reason that report does not meet you needs?
