Importing Data from Quicken
Transferring financial data from Quicken into Moneydance requires that the data first be exported from the other application into a QIF file. This can be accomplished from the file->Export... menu option within Quicken. Some financial institution websites also allow downloads of recent account activity using QIF files.
Once the data has been exported into a QIF file or downloaded, use the File->Import->Quicken Interchange Format (QIF) menu to open the QIF import dialog in Moneydance. Use this dialog to import the QIF file that was exported from the other application.
Importing a QIF file into Moneydance will automatically create the categories and accounts that were included in the QIF file. It will also add all of the transactions from the QIF file into Moneydance.
Due to limitations in the QIF file format, it is possible that some transactions (especially transfers between accounts) may have been duplicated during the import process. If the balances in Moneydance and your other application do no match up exactly then it may be necessary to find and remove a duplicate transaction or two.
If you intend to import an extremely large body of data (such as several years' worth of Quicken financial history) and/or if your QIF file includes a large number of split transactions or investment-related transactions, we strongly recommend you take the steps outlined in preparing Moneydance for Quicken import.
