Talk:How to convert Microsoft Money file
From MTHWiki
Is it possible to export the information from Microsoft Money Essentials? It does not appear to have any export capabilities built in, however I am very interested in switching to your software.
In general, if Microsoft Money can export reports into CSV (Comma Separated Value) file, then we can import it.
Here is a typical CSV File generated by Microsoft:
Account Transactions
All Accounts
Num,Date,Payee,C,Account,Memo,Category,Amount
,1997-04-10,CVS,R,Cash,,Food : Groceries,-5.1700
,1997-04-17,CVS,R,Cash,,Food : Groceries,-2.8900
,1997-08-27,MBTA,R,Cash,,Transportation,-2.0000
We basically need only Num, Date,Payee,C,Account,Memo,Category and Amount
We don't need running balances or other extra information that is sometimes generated.
If you can get a report in this format out of any version of Microsoft Money then we will be able to take it in
