Importing QIF, separating accounts

Post by mrtoner »

Who knew there were so many personal finance application choices to replace Quicken? I started with thirty, quickly eliminated eight based on information found on MacUpdate.com (how long since updated, screenshots, developer's attention to his own site), and got rid of 11 more after downloading them and trying out the interface.

iCompta made the first two cuts.

I'm having an issue importing my Quicken 2000 data, though. iCompta requires that I select an account to import transactions into. The QIF file, of course, specifies the account, but iCompta doesn't pay attention to that; instead, it loads all the transactions into the selected account. I had hoped that iCompta would create the accounts it needs.

How can I get my data into iCompta into the correct accounts?

You can't do it in the current release however this is planned in version 4.

Creating the account in iCompta, exporting each account separately from Quicken, then importing each file into the appropriate account did the trick.
