This story is from the December 3, 2012 issue of Fortune. Jeff Bezos likes to read. Thatâs a dog-bites-man revelation if ever there was one, considering that Bezos is the cerebral founder and chief executive of a $100 billion empire built on books.
The Australian version of Quicken still allows the importing of QIF files for these account types, however, unlike the American version, it is not possible to export data to QIF or any other file type, for any account type. The QIF format does not allow a user to mark the currency in which a transaction was completed.
Intuit has done the laborious tasks for you by creating its export file with the same format that Excel uses. This greatly simplifies the task of moving data to/from QuickBooks lists. The versions of Excel that are compatible with this IIF format of a QuickBooks-produced file are 2000, 2002, 2003, 2007, and 2010.Now a note of caution for you before you try any of these export/import operations that are explained in this post.e will deal with two types of data that we will manipulate with the QuickBooks/Excel interface: 1) list data; and 2) report data. In this first post we will deal with list data, and then in a subsequent second post we will deal with report data.
