The File Format needs an acct type but can’t accept DDA or SAV. The Account Type will need to be
changed from DDA or SAV to Checking for DDA or Savings for SAV in column H. (You may also use
just a C or S)
If you DO NOT have a split deposit, you may proceed to step 9.
For split-entry deposits you will also need to do the following:
Delete the rows that have a + and – . The rows that you are deleting shouldn’t have any
account information (See example shown below). **After the deletion of the rows, + and – signs
will remain in column A. The + and – signs are not necessary but will not cause any harm either.
Click on File in the top left corner and select Save As. Select the location where you would like to
save the file, name the file and select CSV Comma Delimited from Save as type.
9
Minimize the excel spread sheet.
