Complicated Pasting for QIF format
Posted by Justin McLain on September 29, 2001 6:51 PM
I am entering in several years of financial information into quicken. My statments are in paperform and the bank does not offer them electronically. I have decided that it would be much easier to perform the data entry in Excel versus directly into Quicken.
This being the case, I have analyzed the make-up of the QIF file format and have written formulas that will malipulate my 5 column table into the appropriate QIF format. The QIF format required the data to exist as tab seperated text in a single column. The data is formated in 7 rows equaling a record (the 5 formated specially columns from my table, a 6th row that contains information derived from my 5 column table, and a "^" to deliminate records) For Example;
[Sheet1] Data Source WorkSheet
A B C D E
1 Date Amount Payee Type Method
2 9/28 $500.00 IRS Tax EFT
3 9/29 $45.00 Shell Fuel ChkCrd
Is formated as
[Sheet2] Data Result WorkSheet
A
1 !BankNum
2 D09/28' 0
3 U-500.00
4 T-500.00
5 NEFT
6 PIRS
7 LTax
8 ^
9 D09/29' 0
10 U-45.00
11 T-45.00
12 NChkCrd
13 PShell
14 LFuel
15 ^
I've tested it an works perfectly, but the pasting additional records is very tedious. Pasting advances the row numbers in my formula's by 7. Although, I am pasting (or dragging) 7 rows at a time in my results table, I want it only to advance the row number in my formulas by 1. Does anyonw know a way to paste or fill in a manner that let me paste 7 rows at a time, but only advance the row numbers in my formulas by 1? See the Examples Below to illustrate my question.
(Example Result of Paste/Fill, Rows 2-8 are copied and pasted into rows 9-22])
