I am including a screenshot to best show exactly what I mean, with the items in YELLOW that I do not need or want to see. (a short version of one account, I have many others that are many months old)
I did mention that I used the checkbox for "Hide transactions after the statement's end date" and all this appears to do is just not have the transaction show up in the box while you are selecting entries to mark cleared. This report was created both ways and with same results.
