I'm popping into this thread as I have the same problem, which you don't seem to have answered.  The question is NOT about which report to use, as the problem exists in all of them.

The problem is that the memo field, which has clearly been populated, does not display in the report.

I generated a Transaction Detail by Account report.  There are 14 lines in the report.  7 lines show a memo/description, 7 do not.  All 14 transactions have a memo (and a description) entered. 

Why does the report show incomplete data?
