Why does my export overview window in QB online not give download tool to download the QB desktop migration tool? I am using app/exportqbodatatoqbdt

The tool is only applicable to migrate data from QBO US version to QBD US version. For any QBO Non-US version, you may have 2 ways to migrate data:

1. Utilize a migration tool. i.e TPExporter for Online, TPImporter for Desktop

2. Purchase a 3rd party conversion service.

Hi hlenns93,

Thanks for joining Community!  Moving your data can be done seamlessly, and you'll be able to select what reports and lists you'd like to transfer.  With the QuickBooks Online export feature you can download the data to your hard drive.  Based on the information you've provided, it seems that you've located an article based on QuickBooks U.S.  I'd be happy to guide you through exporting your data from QuickBooks Online Canada!

Exporting reports includes the data from posting transactions like bills and invoices.  You can also export non-posting transactions and attachments.

Follow these steps to export reports and lists:

1. Click on the Gear ⚙ icon in the top right 

2. Select Export Data

3. Set the date range from the Reports tab

4. Add or remove items by toggling the slider

5. Hit Export to Excel

6. Repeat these steps when you open the Lists tab

Here's how to export additional reports:

1. From the left menu, select Reports

2. Search for the desired report and open it

3. Enter the desired Date range and any additional customized options as needed

4. Hit Run report

5. Click on the Export icon and then Export to Excel

Note:  If you notice data missing when you open the report in excel, it's currently in protected view.  Just hit Enable Editing to view the full report.  

You can also create custom reports to get the data that isn't found in the basic reports.  Once you've completed exporting your data, here's a detailed article to Import data in QuickBooks Desktop.
