How can I "Continue download process" outlined in the QB email - it does not work, only shows: Download to Excel?

I downloaded the QB online file to the QB desktop. Followed steps outlined in email, where it says to ". Download your data by returning to the Export Overview section (same steps as used to initiate the conversion) and restarting the export process. Choose "Continue to Download" on the Exporting from QuickBooks Online Plus page." However, when I access the Download page again, all it shows me is to download to Excel. I should have a QBXML file instead - according to the instructions. Totally confused!

Hi staff3,

 

I hope you're having a good day! I'll help you check to see why you only have an option to export to Excel.

 

We can do the basic steps to check if some random browser issues caused this behavior.

 

To start, you'll want to sign in to QuickBooks using a private browser. This step disables its extensions and stops the cache from saving your browsing history.

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • MS Edge and Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Safari: Command + Shift + N

If you can see the option to download the QBXML file, you can go back to your regular browser and clear its cache. If not, please try other browsers to see if we get the same thing.

 

If nothing works, you'll want to contact our QBO Support to check this further. They can start a screen-sharing session to gather more details about this behavior.

 

Feel free to get back to this thread should you have any other concerns. We're always here to help.
