YNAB CSV Import Format changed

The format for the importing CSV has changed:

Date, Payee, Memo, Inflow, Outflow

to:

Date, Payee, Memo, Amount

as of today (11/17/18) the import CSV doesn’t work for a file exported by ynab-csv.

Of course, @aniav!

I recently did an export of a credit card transaction history and ran it through the tool to get the inflow and outflow categories. The exported CSV from the tool works, but there was some confusion from YNAB itself.

When using the ‘Import’ on an almost valid CSV from the YNAB desktop UI (on Firefox 63.0.3 64bit) I get a dialog:

and a ynab_sample_import.csv with the column headers:

Date, Payee, Category, Amount

I’m assuming this is an old sample and doesn’t affect the current import/ export - if you create a CSV with this format, it works as well.

I’m going to close this since it doesn’t seem like it affects the tool itself, but I’d figure I’d leave it here for future reference.

Thank you! i will look into it ✌️
