Wondering when a fully-functional Find/Replace feature will be implemented in Quicken Mac? (This includes working in split transactions, and on all fields.)
Hello All,
The status of this Idea has been changed to Under Consideration as it has reached enough votes and has been submitted to our Product and Development team for further review.
Thank you!
The status of this Idea has been changed to Planned as it has been accepted by our Product and Development team for future implementation. However, we do not have an ETA available.
Any update on Find and Replace for Mac? George
Hello @Geojung,
I merged your idea with the existing idea. The Idea's current status is Planned, but we do not have an ETA.
Thank you.
Long time user of Quicken Windows. I have been using another product for a few years, but have switched back to Quicken for Mac.
The Find and Replace was really useful to clean up data after conversion.
I really need to change investment transaction types from Dividend Income to Miscellaneous Income so I can assign a Foreign Dividend category.
Find & Replace is one of the most common features in productivity software yet is missing in Quicken for Mac. While the Edit feature has some capabilities, it is not a true Find & Replace. In particular, it does not affect split transactions. There are many times when changes need to be made to groups of split transactions. Perhaps the most painful need for Find & Replace is when converting from Personal to "Business & Personal". When converting to "Business & Personal" Quicken, split transactions get assigned the default business account. If you have more than one business account, updating all the existing split transactions can take hours if you have much historical data. Quicken, please add Find & Replace to Quicken Classic for Mac.
This is already a planned improvement:
Hello @mayall,
Your idea has been merged into this already active Idea thread regarding the same request.
Thanks. I created a new comment because the issue is especially acute when converting from "Personal" to "Business & Personal". During the process of updating, it is easy to end up with hundreds of split transactions with the wrong Business Account. It is extraordinarily painful to fix. I wanted the new comment to be a bit of a warning to owners of Personal who upgrade as well as a general comment.
Add my 2 cents as this is a much needed feature to clean the various Quicken databases.
I got so used to this capability in Quicken Windows that the lack of it in Quicken Mac is jarring, especially to see that the request for this function has been going on for years! Please add me to the list of Quicken users who need this capability!
It's unbelievable that this feature still does not exist for Quicken MAC. Please add it. It's a needed feature for even casual users of your software like me….
Hello @jrechtin,
Thank you for coming to the Community to share your feedback! This functionality has already been requested and is already planned. I merged your request with the existing request.
Our teams do not provide ETAs on when it will be implemented, so I recommend bookmarking this Idea post, since any updates, once available, will be posted here.
Why is MAC the red-headed step-child when it comes to quick fixes? STILL WAITING FOR 'FIND AND REPLACE' FOR MAC. It's been planned for two years now.
Please implement this feature. I cannot believe it was not available from the start of the new Quicken for Mac. And now, after two years of being "planned" it is still unavailable.
I cannot find the merged idea that replaced this idea. Any progress with this deliverable?
@Patrick Flaherty This feature request is marked as "Planned". Beyond that, we unfortunately never get any indication of when any particular feature is on their schedule to create or release.
