    Did you mean CSV? That is Comma Separated Values. You can open it in Excel, etc.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values#:~:text=A%20comma%2Dseparated%20values%20(CSV,name%20for%20this%20file%20format.

    Or CVS is a drug store.

    I'm staying on Quicken 2013 Premier for Windows.

    CSV- looks like this - Comma Separated Values…

    here is a sample download from a savings account -

    CSV does not look like what @Ps56k2 originally posted (tabular format). It is plain text with data separated by commas. In its native state, one of those lines would look like this:

    2023-07-10,23:45:54,202.36,Deposit,Interest Paid

    Sometimes each field is enclosed in double quotes just in case a verbatim comma might appear in a field.

    Quicken user since version 2 for DOS, as of 2025 using QWin Premier (US) on Win10 Pro & Win11 Pro on 2 PCs.

    I originally posted exactly the normal compressed CSV but the forum website put it into a tabular format … so I added some text to just leave it as is …
