Can you attach the example cvs file?</p>
<p>Do you mean txns too, or just the pure category? Would the structure be like for like?</p>
<p>I’m wondering if the old MD import function that allowed you to import a qif file and just import the account/category structure with no data would work... I have enabled this in toolbox. I think it’s on the tools menu.</p>

<p>The old importer was creating the Category and Account list from the transactions, a very useful feature. I do not know if it was able to use a QIF category list as only a few vendor products could create such a list. It would be interesting to see if it could.</p>
<p>A QIF category list is quite simple.</p>
<p>A not too uncommon request is the creation of a new empty data set but with the structure in place exporting Account, Category, Security QIF lists and importing them into a new data set could be a way of facilitating this.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/492392712021-06-11T13:35:30Z2021-06-11T13:35:30ZCategories<div><p>I've just knocked up a CSV imported for Categories...
