But before you start, you'll have to make sure that your using Internet Explorer 10 or higher for the conversion to run smoothly. Then, open the QuickBooks Desktop version in which you want to convert your company file. Once done, export the following reports and lists into individual Excel files contained in a zip format in one process. To export your report or list:

  1. Click the Gear icon and then Export Data.
  2. On the Reports tab, set the date range.
  3. Add or remove items from the Reports and Lists tabs by toggling the slider.
