It is used as an open format for transferring data between vendors, consumers, and financial systems. It is a file format used for financial data files that contain transactions, statements, and other financial information. That's because MS Money is not a double-entry system and so things aren't required to balance there.The OFX file extension is known as Open Financial Exchange File which was created by CheckFree, Intuit and Microsoft in early 1997. You may need to make a few balancing entries in some of the accounts to get things balanced correctly.

You can install it in Moneydance by going to Extensions -> Manage extensions, then scrolling down and clicking the Install button next to the Find and Replace extension. The Find and Replace extension can be very useful for changing the categories of a lot of transactions at once.
Organise your accounts and categories the way you want. You may need to modify the transaction later to account for closing costs, etc. This may be a checking account if it was an unsecured loan or it may be an asset account if there was an asset that was acquired. Select Yes and choose the account that received the loan proceeds. When you click Done, Moneydance will ask if you want to transfer the loan balance to another account. Moneydance will contain the cash transactions in the root of the investment account.Įdit the loan accounts in Moneydance. Delete the temporary place holder account in Moneydance. Then right click on the select transactions and select "Batch Change" -> Account and specify the investment account as the destination. To move transactions, select them in the "Bank" account by selecting the first transaction and then using shift-click to select the last transaction. Move all transactions from the temporary "Bank" accounts you created for place holders for the cash portion of the investment accounts from MSMoney into the one and only corresponding investment account in Moneydance. If there are, then you've made a mistake. There should not be any of those "Imported Account" accounts or categories. If done correctly, every account will get populated with the correct transactions, even the loan accounts. That's why you should give the qif files descriptive names in step 3. If you make a mistake (like importing into the wrong account) you'll probably need to start over so be extra careful. Remember to select the "Bank" account when importing the cash portion of the investment accounts. From this window set the "File Source:" to "From Another Program".Ĭ) From the "Import To:" option Select "Existing Account" and select the Moneydance account that you want to import the data into. Make sure you import each QIF file into the corresponding account in Moneydance you created in step 7Ī) Select File -> Import in Moneydance and select your QIF file for importing.ī) The "Import QIF File" window will be displayed. Remember to use exact spelling or everything will get screwed up. Go ahead and create your loan accounts in Moneydance as well. You will combine the transactions and delete this account later. This is just a temporary account used for correctly importing the data. The bank account will contain the cash transactions from the investment from MSMoney. One will be of type of "Investement" and the other will be "Bank". You'll need to create two accounts in Moneydance for each investment account. Make sure you name the accounts with the exact spelling used in MSMoney. You must repeat the steps above for each account you want to export.Ĭreate the accounts in Moneydance before you begin importing the files.
When Money is finished exporting the account, click OK. In the Account List box, click the account that you want to export, then click Continue. When prompted to select the account type you want to export, click Regular or Investment for the account being exported, then click OK. You'll work around that limitation later.
That's because MSMoney treats them as two separate accounts internally. Investement accounts will require two files, one for the investment transactions and one for the cash transactions. Give the files descriptive names so that you don't get confused later. In the File Name box, type a name for the account that you want to export. In MS Money open the file that you want to export. Re-open any closed accounts that you want to export before exporting from Microsoft Money. Before beginning, note that Microsoft Money will not export an account you have closed in Microsoft Money to a QIF file.
