When comparing spending across different Payees, I like to see how many times I've spent money there in addition to how much
If I search by payee name on the spending report, I get a transaction count. In the transaction list, you can filter by payee and see a transaction count too. The screens below are from the web app.
Spending report example
Reports can also be filtered by different criteria on the top of the page near a chart. The breakdown can be changed too.
Is this what you are looking for?
I also have an all expense watchlist that lets me filter by payee and see a transaction count.
