The "new and improved" online banking allows me to export to .csv, .ofx, .qfx, and .qbo I am using the File > Import > Import OFX/QFX menu option.
Even in the CSV format, the Description and Memo fields show the same as <NAME> and <MEMO> in both .ofx and .qfx I'm thinking I'll have to pre-process the file as John mentions. I'm very out of date on programming stuff and only dabbled with Python once... stuck in a corporate Microsoft world. Any suggestions on what to use and maybe a sample script from someone else forced to do this sort of thing. Last time this happened, I changed credit unions. Besides this one problem, I'm pretty happy at this one. Thanks! On Mon, Oct 29, 2018, at 11:41 PM, David Carlson wrote: > What do you mean by online banking.?
