Learning Objective

  • To identify QuickBooks features and techniques that can be used to streamline reports for faster analysis in Excel.
  • To recall how to analyze QuickBooks data by way of pivot tables in Excel.
  • To identify the setting that enables certain browsers to launch Excel files exported from QuickBooks Online and other sources.
  • To identify how to use Excel’s Text to Columns feature.
  • To define the ideal data for use in creating pivot table reports.
  • To recall the keystroke that enables you to select two or more non-adjacent items from a Slicer.

Course Overview

In this on-demand CPE webcast, Excel and QuickBooks expert David Ringstrom, CPA, shares valuable tips to help you overcome the limitations of QuickBooks internal reports. David teaches several techniques, including how to combine two reports into one, create pivot tables from QuickBooks data, access memorized QuickBooks reports, and more. He also shows additional ways to analyze data from QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online in this follow-up to part 1. Among other topics, David covers how to flatten multiple-column reports back into a list format for further analysis, how users of Excel 2016 and later can visually present a summary profit and loss report in chart form by way of Waterfall charts, how users of Excel 2013 and later can implement the Bing Maps add-in to transform summary data into interactive maps, and how users of earlier versions of Excel can clean up their QuickBooks reports.

David demonstrates every technique at least twice in this CPE course: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in the subscription-based Microsoft 365 version of Excel. David draws your attention to any differences in the older versions of Excel (2019, 2016, 2013, and earlier) during the presentation as well as in his detailed handouts. David also provides an Excel workbook that includes most of the examples he uses during the CPE webinar.

Microsoft 365 is a subscription-based product that provides new feature updates as often as monthly. Conversely, the perpetual licensed versions of Excel have feature sets that don’t change. Perpetual licensed versions have year numbers, such as Excel 2019, Excel 2016, and so on.

This Online Excel CPE webinar covers the following Key Topics:

  • Learn QuickBooks techniques to reduce the need for Excel analysis and create one-click access to memorized reports.
  • Export reports for spreadsheet analysis to a .CSV file instead of Excel and bypass filter drop-downs by filtering based on cell contents.
  • Use Excel’s PivotTable feature to identify anomalies in QuickBooks data and track customer longevity with first and last invoice dates.
  • Utilize Excel functions like DATEDIF and SUMIF with wildcards, and transform text-based dates using Text to Columns.
  • Map sales by city with Bing Maps, manage the Protected View prompt, and use Slicers to filter QuickBooks data in Excel.
  • Streamline Waterfall charts from QuickBooks P&L reports, export customer contact lists, flatten P&L by Class reports, and use Timelines to filter pivot tables.

This was an excellent webinar. My one and only issue was the speed with which the host went through everything. Self Study for this webinar is recommended. The information provided was invaluable and will be used. The speed issue comes into play for things like web addresses and formulas. Trying to follow a long with what he was doing was frustrating because if you missed one little thing in his formula and yours didn't work like his you start to try to fix it then you start to miss his explanation on the formula and then you cannot follow along with him in the transformation of the report. I realize some of this is mean to practice outside of the webinar, but working WITH him while he is doing this would be so much more effective.

Although I couldn't keep up with all the formula's, I still feel this was well presented. It was brilliant of him to first show the instructions on how to do things and to include those steps in the handout. Now, I can go back to the handout to further learn things. Well Done!
