The QXL tool to extract QuickBooks Data
I first became aware of QXL late last year, when I was doing some research on the QODBC website. QXL is a relatively new
product from our friends at Flexquarters, the makers of QODBC.
QXL provides a super easy way to export QuickBooks Data, most likely into Excel. It comes in two versions – one that works
with QuickBooks Desktop and another that works with QuickBooks Online.
I demonstrated QXL for QuickBooks Online in my Data Utilities for QuickBooks Online course at “Scaling New Heights" this
past June. I also demonstrated QXL for QuickBooks Desktop during a recent webinar sponsored by Qbox.
In this article we’ll be looking at the version for QB Desktop, because I easily adapted my PowerPoint slides into graphics for
this article.
With the exception of the “connection routine” and a few ‘behind the scenes’ techno-things, the two versions of the product
work almost identically.
QXL uses the Flexquarters QODBC driver for reading QuickBooks which means that it works with every year of QuickBooks
since 2002.
The product makes use of standard SQL commands that have been automated into QXL. In other words, you don’t have to
learn structured query language with QXL like you needed to when using QODBC directly.
