<p>Only Quicken can read .qdf files.</p>
<p>You need to use Quicken to export your data in a QIF file type.</p>
<p>When you first start Moneydance it opens in the Welcome window click on “create a new account set”. If you have opened Moneydance before create a new data set under FILE (MONEYDANCE on Mac) – NEW.<br>
Deleted the two default Bank accounts, highlighting them in turn and using ACCOUNT – DELETE ACCOUNT.<br>
Drag and dropped the QIF file into the side bar (list on left).<br>
Waited for import window to appear, this can take a few minutes. Checked all listed accounts were of the correct type and changed if required.</p>
<p>Click import and waited to values to file in, again this can take some time.</p>
<p>Some accounts maybe hidden under the “+” at the bottom of the side bar, added them back.<br>
Checked that the initial balances were correct under ACCOUNT EDIT for each account. Some programs don’t export initial balances. For investment accounts remembered that QIF file don’t carry security prices other than buy sell prices so investment account balances are likely to be wrong until you update with current security prices.</p>
<p>Hope this helps</p></div>derekkent23tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/471975562019-04-24T07:26:49Z2019-04-24T07:26:49ZHow do you import quicken data to Moneydance<div><p>I am not support staff, just a user.</p>
