Why Convert IIF to Excel?

IIF Files Can't Open in Excel

IIF files use QuickBooks Desktop's proprietary format with special headers: - Not standard CSV: Opening in Excel gives garbled data with TRNS/SPL markers - Complex structure: Multi-row transaction blocks need proper parsing - Data locked in: QuickBooks Desktop data needs extraction to be useful Converting to Excel gives you a properly formatted spreadsheet with clean columns.
