Exporting numbers file to CSV on iPad, saves as zip file. Need it to be a CSV file. Open zip file, says file type unsupported.

Like the title says. I don’t need a zip file. I need to export a file to CSV. Nit export to a zipped CSV that won’t unzip. Quickbooks don’t take zip files.

here we go. Starts as excel file. Open in numbers. Export to CSV. Saves as zip. Can’t unzip, says unsupported file type if I try to open it. I can’t access it, and ultimately I can’t upload zipped CSV file to intended destination (quickbooks), and I’m getting ****** if at how technology constantly makes what should be very basic, very simple tasks and plans to achieve basic objectives harder than it/they have to be for no apparent reason.

I could go on and on about how Square and Quickbooks constantly work against you by making their data sharing essentially incompatible if you use square checking at all, and that nightmare is maddening enough. But then you can’t even transfer bank statements to excel files and load them as individual account info. Can’t upload them as pdfs. The statements all changed policy and don’t provide options to export as CSV or as xlsx, so you have to export as pdf and change the file to an accepted format. Also, if you batch upload accounting details and statements, you can use an excel file. Beat. But one account? One months statement? Or even if you combine statements for the year into just one file, still can’t upload it batch style, gotta be individual bank account info statement designatio. So I go there. One statement detail upload please. Oh, what’s this? Needs to be in CSV or other four or five file type that does NOT include excel file that I’ve already wasted hours figuring out how to accurately convert from pdf?? Of course. Why not. So let’s change format again, so quickbooks will allow me to put in my own info to the software I blow tons of money on so it can **** me off to the point of being described as “enraged” when they called the cops for the noose disturbance.

Then , I dunno. It gets wild. Maybe you snap and throw some things. Nobody lives with you or cares enough to check in, so this goes on for days. You have stopped the business day to day in order to catch up with the day to day from the last year. Gotta be legal. Gotta do it right. Gotta be an American setting the example for how to be an American. In doing so, in following the law, or trying to make it so you can, you get a little lost. Maybe a little sidetracked. Maybe even a little outside your typical self. Maybe you get frustrated. You lose a couple days. Maybe you even “get lucky” and the judge gives you unsupervised due to the nature of your complex and detailed account of the current technological garbage you’re dealing with and the fact that the people who called don’t even LIVE ON THAT BLOCK IN THE FIRST PLACE, they just took an extra long walk complete with two detours to “explore the neighborhood” they have no business even being in, at 1130pm, when they saw you, and then they saw you through your bedroom window FROM THE ALLEYWAY they were exploring, miles from home, as well as the standard “small” fine you pay for being angry at home. Alone. With nobody there. By yourself. All this to stand as the old American way, and you’re rewarded for trying to be sufficient and follow the rules of owning a business with a fee to serve as the debt to pay the society that it’s deemed you now owe for some reason. You know. Cuz being a quickbooks user at home is potentially damaging to society at large.

Anyway. .

So you have to load it elsewhere for your individual account stuff. Can’t “import” basic statements in @ straight forward easy manner. Nope. Gotta jump through HOOPS, son! Use the route that allows basic statement imports. It’s easy.

Oh! Right, so also, quickbooks user, you can’t use the excel file that was a huge pain to get situated and accurate and proper. No. NOPE! Na, sorry. You can only do THAT with a CSV file!Ah… Of course, a CSV file. I’ll just change the file format. No problem!

Except it is. It is a problem. And if you get upset at all about that, the militarized means of civil order and protection keepers just might walk into your home without knocking and without permission, knock you down when you start asking them sternly how they got in your house, that you own (kind of) and that you don’t want them in, send electric shocks pulsing through your body when they try to illegally detain and further move to arrest and transport you, And it’s all in all quickbooks is getting very exoens8ve for some tasks I can’t even complete. I’ve invested too much in the platform, I’ve wasted too much time trying, and I need this fix to exist and to not be so mentally and apparently physically taxing that it causes any more pain. Plus it’s causing broken devices and I can’t afford another one of those either.

help. Please help.
