I have used QuickBooks desktop for many years. I am now trying to use Quicken for Mac.

Question

I would like to save the data from QuickBooks so I can retrieve the "find" feature  to look up, search past transactions.  Is that possible?

Actually, Quicken Mac can create a new file from a QIF file. Whether all the data will import or fall into the right places is unknown, because QIF is a very loose standard.

See this Quicken conversion guide and click the link under "Other" for "Start from a .QIF file exported from another application (Banktivity or Moneydance)".

Oops.  I meant to indicate that you'll need to somehow convert your file to .qfx in order to import it into Quicken Mac.

The problem with the instructions above to convert a QuickBooks file to .csv and then to .qif ... is this:

Quicken Mac can't import a .qif file type.

So, unless it's .qxf, you're not getting it into Quicken Mac.

And since the OP indicated they use Quicken Mac, all these instructions are pretty much moot.
