Date Commands for the Date Picker Calendars
Overview
The following is a list of the Date Commands that can be used for the date picker calendars in Quicken Simplifi, such as in Reports and Bills & Payments. To use a Date Command, just highlight the day and enter the applicable command!
Note: Date Commands are not available on the Mobile App.

You can repeatedly press keys to jump through time:

Press R again: December 31st of next year
Keep pressing to move forward in years
This works with all period-end commands (K, H, R).
