Problems and fixes

Dates show up as numbers like 46298
That is how Excel stores dates. FileInto reads real Excel dates, so this only happens when the column is formatted as text. Format the column as Date in Excel and save again.
Summary rows at the top are counted
Rows without a valid date are skipped and listed under "rows skipped". Delete totals and notes at the bottom if they have dates.
QuickBooks says it can’t verify the financial institution
FileInto writes a supported institution id into every QBO file. If you still see this, write to us with your QuickBooks version.

Questions

Can QuickBooks import Excel directly?
QuickBooks Online imports bank transactions from CSV in a strict layout, not from .xlsx. QuickBooks Desktop needs a QBO file. Converting to QBO works in both.
Is my spreadsheet uploaded?
No. FileInto opens it inside your browser tab.
Which Excel formats work?
.xlsx and older .xls files. Only the first sheet is read.
What are the limits?
Files up to 25 MB. Every file gets a full preview free. Downloads up to 25 transactions are free, no account needed; a Day Pass ($9 for 24 hours) or Unlimited ($7 a month) has no row limit. It works in current versions of Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox, on computers and phones.
