Unable to upload older transactions even in CVS format

Let's resolve the error you're having to import your CSV file successfully, @Eve C.

Try to check the format of your CSV file. You may encounter this error when the CSV file’s format is incorrect, or the template doesn’t meet the specific requirements. You can use either a 3-column or 4-column format. These are the only columns QuickBooks can handle and this order. The three needed fields to import successfully into QuickBooks are the Date, Description, and Amount columns.

Check the following information:

• Remove zeroes (0) from the file and leave those cells blank.
• Select the column header labels (from the dropdowns) that match the column header labels in your CSV file.
• The file should contain the following information: Date, Description, and Amount.

See this article to view a sample file of the 3-column or a 4-column format: Format CSV files in Excel to get bank transactions into QuickBooks. 

Once done and the file has been imported successfully, here's how you can categorise transactions in QuickBooks Self-Employed to put them in the right SA103F Categories.

I have formatted the csv file to exactly the same as i always do but it will not upload. I'm on a mac and downloading from starling bank for quick books self employed. I have done this before but it isn't working now. 

Hi there, clairebiscuits. We want to ensure you can successfully upload your bank transactions to your QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) account.

Beforehand, I'd like to know if you encounter any error messages while importing the bank data. It'll help me determine its cause and provide accurate steps to sort this out.

In the meantime, I suggest accessing your QBSE account using a private window. This way, we can determine whether this is a browser cache-related issue. The browser utilises cached data to load web pages quickly. However, excessive cache can lead to problems that impact the appearance and functionality of your account.

Using a private window helps us verify the issue since this doesn't save any data files. You can refer to these keyboard shortcuts to open an incognito window:

• Ctrl + Shift + N for Google Chrome browser)
• Ctrl + Shift + P for Mozilla Firefox & Microsoft Edge browsers
• Command + Shift + N for Safari browser

If the customer's name shows when searching using the postcodes, I recommend clearing your regular browser cache. This deletes all the data from your browser and optimizes its performance. Using other supported browsers also helps us verify if this is a browser-specific issue. 

Additionally, here's a helpful resource you can look through to learn more about putting the transactions to the correct line of your Schedule C in QBSE: Categorise transactions in QuickBooks Self-Employed.
