Do file export backup to create a backup.<br>
File restore from backup.<br>
Try each/all csv files and see what happens.<br>
When you’ve finished, do file open your original live dataset.</p>

I am brand new to MonkeyDance, so I don't have anything existing. I was just trying to limit my time on this and not have to try each CSV.</p></div>Karl Fishertag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/492931042021-07-15T18:52:28Z2021-07-15T18:52:28ZImporting from CountAbout<div><p>Understood. It should take seconds to test. A QIF or OFX format is much better.</p>
<p>If you are new, then afterwards you can just do file new to start again.</p>
<p>Without seeing the actual formats (I assume you want to transfer all your existing data), hard to tell.</p>
<p>None of the options seem quite right to me. I would have thought you want split lines, all detail, all totals including split lines and parent and all categories too.</p>

Seems as if it only supports QIF or MoneyDance file types. Selecting CSV either causes an error or does nothing.</p></div>Karl Fishertag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/492931042021-07-15T20:52:12Z2021-07-15T20:52:12ZImporting from CountAbout<div><p>I'm a fellow user.</p>
<p>Moneydance can import CSV files into no-investment accounts.</p>
<p>You will not be able to do it from the Welcome screen if that is what you are trying to do, since Moneydance cannot derive the structure from CSV file since such files are really just a table. You would need to create a data set, create the account the data is to be imported into then perform the import telling Moneydance what the structure of the CSV file is.</p>

However, the transaction font is so tiny, and I can't figure out how to make it bigger. I was able to make the left side bar bigger, but not the transactions. Any tips?</p></div>Karl Fishertag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/492931042021-07-21T21:02:27Z2021-07-21T21:02:27ZImporting from CountAbout<div><p>The Moneydance menu option File --> Preferences on the Appearance tab will allow you to change fonts and size.</p>
<p>Size is expressed as the size relative to the default so + values make them larger and - value makes them smaller.</p>
<p>You may need to restart Moneydance for the change to be reflected everywhere.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/492931042021-07-22T19:29:47Z2021-07-22T19:29:48ZImporting from CountAbout<div><p>Thanks, when I started MoneyDance I did notice the font was bigger, I did not think to restart the app. However, I am not really satisfied with it, so I won't be using it. Thanks for all your help though.</p></div>Karl Fisher
