is there a way to export from QB POS if the computer does not have Excel?

I am not interested in buying a license for my front counter computer when I plan to use the information on a different computer that does have a license.

Hello @wellroom,

 

Thank you for posting here in the Community. I'm here to share some clarification about extracting data coming from QuickBooks.

 

Currently, the Point of Sale (POS) version is using MS Excel for exporting and importing QuickBooks data in a company file. The only workaround available is to secure a backup copy and restore it to the POS program installed on a different computer.

 

However, please note that performing the restore process will upload the entire company file. To learn more about it, please check out this page: Create or restore backup files in QuickBooks Desktop Point of Sale.

 

Additionally, I recommend visiting the following article to learn how to display hidden files and folders before restoring a backup file in QuickBooks: Resolve company data issues when restoring a backup file.

 

Feel free to hit that Reply button if you have additional questions about exporting QuickBooks data. Have a great day ahead.
