How do I upload an already exported QB Desktop file (no access to original Desktop software)

Do you need to reupload the whole data from a QB Desktop file? or Do you need to migrate some additional data from a QB Desktop file to an existing QBO account?

How do I upload an already exported QB Desktop file (no access to original Desktop software)

I'm here to ensure you're able to upload your file, yana-barnesgroup.

 

If you'd like to import your data to QuickBooks Online, you'll need to access it in QuickBooks Desktop software. Since you can't access yours, I'd suggest using a trial version. Then, restore the exported file to the software. Once done, you can now start moving your file.

In case you'd like to import an existing file to QuickBooks Online, you'll have to ensure this a CSV file or Excel file. This is the only supported format. Once verified that you're exported data is a CSV file, I'd suggest following the steps below.

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Select Import Data.
  3. Choose the type of data you'd like to import.
  4. On the Select a CSV or Excel file to upload, choose your file.
  5. Click Next.
  6. Map your information. 
  7. Make sure everything looks correct, then click on Import.

 

Otherwise, you'll have to use a third-party application that will help you in moving the data to the online version.

However, if you're referring to something else, I'd recommend sharing more details about it. This way, I'll be able to provide an accurate solution for you.

 

Additionally, I've collected resources that contain answers to common questions about moving from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.  You’ll also find solutions on how to resolve conversion errors.

 

 

I'm only a post away if you need more help in managing your QuickBooks data.  It's always my pleasure to help you out again.
