least I know what I have to do.</p>
<p>One last thought, could I export the file from QB to excel or
cvs format and then bring it into Moneydance?</p></div>Stephen Schwartztag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/403599152016-07-20T11:31:21Z2016-07-20T11:31:21ZCan I import my company file from quick books to money dance?<div><p>Hi Stephen,</p>
<p>Moneydance is able to import CSV files with the use of an
extension. However, you should be aware that using this file format
may result in some data missing after the import. The CSV format is
essentially a flat table of rows and columns. It is very versatile
and it is not specifically designed to contain financial
information, which means the import process for CSV files is much
more involved that any other standard format.</p>
<p>The 'Text File Importer' extension allows you to specify which
columns in a CSV file should correspond to which fields in a
Moneydance transaction. This can be installed within Moneydance by
navigating to Extensions --> Manage Extensions. You can then
follow the steps in <a href="http://help.infinitekind.com/kb/importing-data-from-banks-and-other-programs/how-to-import-csv-files-using-the-text-file-importer-extension">
this article</a> which details how to import a CSV file.</p>

<p>Thanks. I am not sure I am up to trying this, but if I do and it
does not work, is there a way that I can delete the company I set
up in Moneydance so I can start all over?</p>

<p>Within Moneydance you can navigate to File --> New, to create
a new blank data set. You can switch between your data by selecting
File --> Open, where your data sets will be listed.<br>
Once your data has been imported correctly, you can follow <a href="http://help.infinitekind.com/kb/moneydance-2015/how-to-delete-an-unwanted-data-set">
these steps</a> to delete an unwanted data set.</p>
