Extracting data from backups

[MaryJ]

Continuing the discussion from Money set aside for tax bill:

@MaryJ

Do you mean the extra account on QF or the entire set of QF records for the business? I thought it would be easier to learn as I went along, using real-life transactions, but now I wonder whether I’ve approached the whole Quickfile set-up process the wrong way round! I don’t really want to clear the whole thing off & start again as I’ve spent hours inputting data (all my previous records were on very basic spreadsheets I’d made up).
This is becoming another topic so I’ll start a new one!

Continuing the discussion from Clearing account practice info to start with a fresh acc:

@Paul

Acount settings> Clear All data in your account

Cheers !

Is it possible to clear all data, then delete all practice entries (or messed up transactions I got in a muddle with!) from the CSV files sent me as a weekly backup, then reimport the data from the CSV so I don’t have to input everything individually?

You could set up another QF account for testing with. This would mean you would have to enter the actual transactions that aren’t for testing twice but you don’t have to worry about the second account drifting off and having to clear data in the future.
