I would like to strip "Aplpay" from the beginning of payee names

enikon

I have hundreds of transactions where apple pay is used, and "aplpay" is added before the vendor name. I find this incredibly frustrating, and would like to clean it up. These are all different vendors.

Is there a way to use regular expressions to accomplish this? I can use "find and replace" to find all transactions that contain the phrase "aplpay". But, not sure what I should type in the Replace Payee filed, to retain the rest of the name. In other software one can use * or ? characters, but not sure how to do it in Quicken.

I would suggest sorting your register by the Payee field, then select ranges of transactions to do the edit/replace on.

Yes, it is tedious work, but once you've done it a couple of times, it gets easier.

If you only have a couple of a given Payee, you can highlight the changed Payee in the first transaction, do a Ctrl-C to copy, then move to the next transaction, do a Ctrl-V to paste, then a return to save and move on the next and do a paste again.
