Export trial balance by class no zeros, and no subtotals and credits are negative and debit is positive

QuickBooks Enterprise Desktop  - The title is what I am trying to do, "Export trial balance by class no zeros, and no subtotals and credits are negative and debit is positive."  The question is, can export all the data in a report, or can I export all the raw data I need to reformat in Excel.  My skills are exceptional in reformating using ArcESB and less so with QuickBooks.  I am not an accountant.  I have this running on a server with lots of processors and SSD drives if needed for processing. The file contains many years and is around 2 Gig.

Export trial balance by class no zeros, and no subtotals and credits are negative and debit is positive

I'm here to share some details about the report, 844379403.

 

You can export the Trial Balance report to Excel by following these steps:

 

  1. Go to Reports > Accountant & Taxes > Trial Balance.
  2. Set the Date and click the Excel drop-down menu.
  3. Choose Create New Worksheet.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to export.

Here's a sample screenshot for a visual guide:

 

 

I'm also adding this article for reference: Export reports as Excel workbooks in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

With regard to the customization, we're unable to add a Class column, but you can filter report by Class.

 

To do that, here's how:

 

  1. In the Trial Balance report window, click the Customize Report button located in the upper left corner. 
  2. Go to the Filter tab.
  3. Type Class in the search field.
  4. Select the classes you want to show.
  5. Hit OK.



The option to customize the Debit and Credit columns to show a positive and negative amount is unavailable. For the amount to show non-zero, you can open the Customize Report window and go to the Display tab. Click the Advanced button and select the Non-zero option.

 

Here's a sample screenshot:

First, thank you for the detailed answer with all the screenshots and detail.  I am the technical person, not the accounting type so forgive me for asking any questions that seem stupid.  You wrote, "The option to customize the Debit and Credit columns to show a positive and negative amount is unavailable."  Will I have the data available from the export to be able to take a script in Excel and move it around to get the same results?

 

Thanks again.

Good day, 844379403.

 

Thanks for the reply!

 

Though we're unable to show the credits as negative, you'll want to export the Trial balance into an Excel file. From there, you can customize it to show the figures as negative.

 

You can follow the steps shared by RenjolynC on how to export the report. You can also check these articles for more details:

Post again here if you have more questions. Take care!

QuickBooks does not have a Trial Balance that separates out the expenses by class name.

The Trial Balance is not in one column where Debits are Positive and Credits are Negative.

The account numbers are embedded with the account name.

 

I am an accountant who wrote a utility called TBX Trial Balance Exporter back in 2004, which gives you these options. I don't see any sign that the T/B will be changed in Desktop.

Sorry for the delay, had to jump on a pressing issue.  See image.  The only thing I lack is I need the "Class Name" for each entry. 2020-11-18_5-48-58.png
