It would be wonderful to be able to import data from Excel. As it stands now, I will have to input hundreds of pages by hand that I already put into Excel. Unless I put them into MEM, the figures will not be accurate. Do you expect to do that anytime in the near future? Thank you.

There has been some discussion here about exporting to a format which could be used by programs such as Excel, but I don't recall a discussion about import.

I don't know the programming end of QMEM but suspect it might be fairly difficult due to the data structure used in QMEM and problems with field matching in an Excel spreadsheet. The same discussion would probably apply equally to moving data between QMEM and Quicken Financial.

Just my guess. ;-)

Wayward.

QMEM could easily read the QDF file (if Q is being used) to determine the cash flow (bank & credit card) accounts then offer them as options In the "My Payments & Copays" window.

THEN, the only data that would need to be exported to Q is the payment account, the date of payment and the amount. I have an extremely hard time believing that such a process would be difficult by any objective standards (and I've been developing software since 1968).

THINK IT THRU! Have you explained your issue so that someone who knows nothing about you, or YOUR Quicken setup, can understand what your issue is? Are you using standard Quicken terminology, particularly with respect to FILES, ACCOUNTS and CATEGORIES?

Hi trlee, and welcome to the forums,

We're not currently planning to support importing data from Excel into QMEM. Everyone's files (in Excel or Word or whatever else) are in whatever format made sense to them at the time, obviously, so there's no clean, consistent, low-effort way for people to import the data into QMEM, unfortunately.

We're looking at some options for exporting.
