Question

Alternate line shading in reports

I know QB desktop has the functionality to add alternating shaded lines to a QB report (Balance sheet, etc.) but I can't find that option anywhere in QBO's report area. Seems absurd to not include it, since its a very basic function  that adds to the usability of the report. Does anyone know how to add the shaded lines in QBO's reports?

I appreciate you posting here, @Michaelaztax.

 

I understand how beneficial this feature is to your business. However, right now, the option to add a shaded table to your report area is unavailable in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Thus, for now, this feature is only available in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

Rest assured, our product developers are open to suggestions that will benefit the number of business owners using the application. With this, I recommend sending feedback to them to consider having this feature which might be included in future updates. You can send your feedback by following the steps below:

 

  1. Click the Help menu located at the top.
  2. Choose the Send Feedback Online and click Product Suggestion.
  3. Type in your feedback or feature request.
  4. Click the Send Feedback button.

 

Moreover, you can check out this article to customize the data shown on your report: Customize reports in QuickBooks Online

Any update on alternate row shading available for QuickBooks Online? Our company recently transitioned from QBDT to QBO and the highlighted lines in our estimates and invoices are a must.
