Thank you all for your responses,

And Andrea, I'm sorry for hijacking your post... But my answer to your
question is that I haven't found a way to do this and I don't think
there is.

Thank again all,

Matt Kirk

As noted, **reports** are the path to Excel via .CSV. If you can't coerce a
report to show it, you are running out of options pretty quickly. There
really is no other workable way to get the data out.

As for budgeting for different periods, it all works out with math. Kinda
like what Money does internally. You tell it per week, it uses the per month
equivalent =weekly_amt*52/12.

Hi Matthew,

I'm actually using Standard Money 2005, but I'm pretty sure I did the same
thing with Money 2002.

Basically I went through the budget creation process. (To get an idea of
all the catagories and spending) then once the budget was created I
went into "view reports".

"view reports" gives you the option of monthly or annual budget. The annual
budget report breaks the year down into months. Catagories and subcatagories
are included. (Which ones was detirmined in the budget creation process).

Once the budget report loads, you have some options to export to Excel, which
will be in csv format. Once in excel you can do lots of neat things to tidy
it up.

I only wish I could then get it back into money.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards

Andrea

Good Evening Dick,

Thanks for your reply.

What I want to export I haven't been able to find in any reports, but
just in case anyone has found a way to incorporate it in a report, I'll
go over what I'm looking for.

If I go into the Budget screen and click on the link at the top for
Expenses to edit them, I get atable of Budget Groups with
Category:SubCategories for each one.

Each SubCategory has a Period (Monthly, Yearly, Twice a month, etc) and
an Amount (ie $50 / month) And in the case of Custom, you can set the
amount per month, as I'm sure you know.

What I'd like to do is get this information to Excel. Has anyone found
a way to do this?

Thanks again,

Matt Kirk

Create the report that suits your purpose, using Customize liberally.
R-click on the report. Select the Export to Excel choice.

If you can't create a report that has what you want, you are probably
out-of-luck.

Good Afternoon CalamanteA,

I know this is off the oposite of what you're looking for, but it's
exactly what I've been looking for.

How exactly do you "export a budget from Money into a CSV file (or
Excel)"? What version are you using? What information is exported?
Does this include the Budget Group, Category, SubCategory, Period,
Amount, and even Custom Month Amounts (Jan - Dec)?

Thank you in advance for any information,

Matt Kirk

I would like to import a previously prepare budget into Money.
Money has the ability to export a budget from Money into a CSV file (or
Excel).
Since trying to edit the money budget is particularly tedious I would like
to be able to edit the CSV file (which is quite easy) and then import it into
Money.
Does anyone know how to do this? (I am currently using Money 2005,
Australian edition)

Thanks.
