Tool for making your CSV files ready to import into YNAB.

http://aniav.github.io/ynab-csv/

NOTE: currently works best in Chrome. See "Known Issues" below for more details.

How to Use

  1. Visit the link above.
  2. Drop or select the the csv file you want to make ready for YNAB.
  3. For each column in the YNAB data file, choose which column you want to pull from your source data file.
  4. Save the new YNAB file and you are ready to import that right into YNAB!

Multiple Profiles

ynab-csv stores your settings in the browser under a profile named default. Each time you change your column mapping or other settings, the new settings will be saved.

A new profile can be created by adding ?profile=<profile name> to the link above. For example, ?profile=paypal would create a new profile named paypal. Then, column mappings will be saved to that profile instead.

You can switch between profiles by selecting the profile from the dropdown or by typing ?profile=<profile name> directly in the browser address bar.

Privacy

Your data never leaves your computer. All the processing happens locally. This is part of the reason Firefox and Safari have issues saving the new file.

Known Issues

Safari will save the file with the filename as Unknown. For best support use Chrome for now.

Reporting Issues

If you have any other issues or suggestions, go to https://github.com/aniav/ynab-csv/issues and create an issue if one doesn't already exist. If the issue has to do with your csv file, please create a new gist (https://gist.github.com/) with the content of the CSV file and share the link in the issue. If you tweak the CSV file before sharing, just make sure whatever version you end up sharing still causes the problem you describe.
