Upload your QIF, choose XLSX, and download analysis-ready data in seconds.

What Is a QIF File?

QIF is a plain-text format used by personal finance and accounting tools to exchange transactions and lists. It supports multiple account types (Bank, Cash, CCrd, Invst) and fields like Date, Payee, Memo, Category, Amount, and status. Split transactions and basic investment actions (Buy/Sell/Div/Reinv) can also be represented.

What You Get

• Tidy worksheets: Each account (or account type) can become its own sheet for easy navigation.
• Structured columns: Date, Payee, Memo, Category, Subcategory, Amount, Cleared, and optional Balance. Dates are normalized and numbers kept as true numerics.
• Split handling: Parent transaction on one row with split lines expanded beneath or on a dedicated “Splits” sheet with a Transaction ID link—your choice of layout may vary.
• Investment activity: Trades and dividends mapped to columns like Action, Security, Quantity, Price, Commission/Fees, and Amount when available in the QIF.
• Consistent typing: Amounts are numeric (not text), so you can sum, pivot, and chart immediately.

Work Faster in Excel

• Auto-format: Apply “Format as Table” for instant filters and banded rows.
• Pivot analysis: Build pivots by Category/Month/Payee to see totals and trends.
• Monthly grouping: Add a helper column with =EOMONTH([@Date],0) for month-end bucketing.
• Running balance: Use =SUM($F$2:F2) (adjust column) or the provided Balance column if included.
• Reconciliation: Filter by Cleared and compare totals to bank statements.

Before You Convert (Best Practices)

• Encoding: Export QIF as UTF-8 to avoid garbled non-Latin characters.
• Dates & decimals: Choose a consistent date format (MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY) and decimal separator matching your Excel locale.
• Scope: Export by account or date range for smaller, faster workbooks.
• De-duplicate: Remove duplicates in your finance app (threads/overlapping exports) before generating the QIF.
• Categories: Keep category names consistent (“Groceries” vs “Grocery”) to make pivoting cleaner.

Troubleshooting

• Wrong dates: If days and months are swapped, re-export with the correct regional format or convert in Excel with DATEVALUE/TEXT TO COLUMNS.
• Amounts as text: Remove currency symbols and non-breaking spaces; set the column format to Number and ensure the decimal separator matches your locale.
• Missing splits: Some exports omit split detail—re-export the original transactions with splits enabled.
• Negative conventions: Parentheses for negatives will be normalized; verify sign for refunds/credits.
• Investment fields blank: Not all QIF sources include quantity/price/fee; the sheet can only show what’s present.

Notes & Limitations

• Source fidelity: The converter reflects the QIF content; it can’t fix upstream categorization or rounding.
• Multiple currencies: If mixed, add a Currency column upstream or split exports per currency.
• Official records: Use bank statements and your accounting system for audits and tax filings.
