Hey there! I'm using the Quickbooks Online Connector for Power BI and I'm trying to connect to the Profit and Loss report, but I only see the basic tables like Account, Journal Entry, Bill, etc. Is there a way to pull the Profit and Loss data into Power BI report? I see that there's API connections to the Profit and Loss Report in the API Developer Docs:https://developer.intuit.com/app/developer/qbo/docs/api/accounting/all-entities/profitandloss Otherwise, if I can't get access with the built in connector, does anyone know what basic Quickbooks tables make up the Profit and Loss Report? I'd be more than ok with rebuilding the report if need be. Thanks everyone!
When I import hours from time sheets into my invoice, quickbooks always add the name, hours and rate to the end of my description. Does anyone knows how to stop that? Thanks.

My business has been winding down and I am mostly retired and servicing my old clients. I mostly need to access the data on Quick Books for questions about things like previous taxes. If I stop my QuickBooks Pro Plus (which now costs $999.00 this year and more the next), can I still leave the program on my computer and use it to access old data when needed? Thank you so much for your help!
I paid my employees last week, reported the information, and paid the IRS what it was owed. Now I found out I was supposed to give him a $1.00 per hour raise. Is there a way I can issue a check now for the that extra he should have received without it duplicating the hours already reported and the taxes paid? The total hours haven't changed, only the hourly amount. Thanks for any help!
. I have many Products or Service Templates set up with Full Descriptions in QuickBooks when I invoice clients. Today, while filling in a new invoice I selected my standard Product/Service and noticed that the DESCRIPTION BOX is not only showing two lines at a time. I can't even select all with my mouse to copy and paste the full description. The only way I can edit or even read what is in the description is my using my arrow keys on my keyboard. This is kind of a major issue for me for invoicing and constantly edit and revised these descriptions based on the project. Does anyone know of a way to make this work properly? I've already sent a Feedback Message to QuickBooks, and I spoke with a representative. Her advice was to just write the description in a Word or Text file and then past it into the DESCRIPTION BOX. As you can imagine, this is not ideal. Attached is a photo.
I want to reconcile my account, but only beginning January 1. The reconcile button is forcing me to go back to 2019. I don’t need to reconcile the previous six years. Only the past four months.
Hello -We recently realized that one of our employees hire date was incorrect, and when trying to update it noticed it is greyed out. Upon researching further, we realized that ALL employees Hire Date in their Employment Info tab is greyed out! We moved to a new QB Company file 10/01/2024 and don't recall this happening in the old company file. Is this a change? What if we enter the date incorrectly; how to we fix that?Please advise and thank you!Wendy
When we pull up an invoice it will only show a partial description, if there is two or more lines they don't show
You can not see the description of the item you are entering. I was told to create a new template? What? Why do they keep messing with things that are not broken? I have over 50 orders to enter today and can not see wth I'm doing. Anyone else having these issues?
the window view in the discription field of my estimates and invoices is only showing partial view. How do I chage it to full field view?
Hello, We switched to a Jan-Dec fiscal year. I closed the books (July - Dec 2024) today. I set the start month the January. This all appeared to work fine. However, when I look at the retained earnings acct in the chart (as of 12/31/2024), the balance is for 07/01/2024 and not 12/31/2024. How do I correct this? Thank you for your help. Debbie
I was using the windows app for QBO yesterday morning (03/19/25) and everything seemed "normal". Then, suddenly, when I now click on the plus sign to open a new tab, a tab opens, but when I try to change to another client in that new tab, a brand new window opens for that client. Anytime I click on + to open a new tab in either window, it opens a new tab for the existing client, but if I try to change the client, it opens a new window for the new client. Now, instead of having a tab for my business, tab for client 1, and a tab for client 2, I have three separate windows. What is going on? I already uninstalled and reinstalled with no change to behavior.
I recently updated my Quickbooks Online Desktop application to version 3.0.1. I'm running it on OSX 15.3.1 (Sequoia). I love the Desktop app because I am managing three different companies. In versions of the app prior to 3, when I changed companies it would open in a new tab. Now they open in a new window. This is not desirable as I am now navigating three laptop windows instead of just one with multiple tabs. Screenshot attached to show how cumbersome it is. Is it possible to only have Quickbooks Online Desktop use a single window and multiple tabs regardless of company? That would be great!
I received payments for my next fiscal year one month early. I want them to reflect in my 2024-2025 FY and not 2023-2024 FY. how can I do this?
Here are the key issues I’m experiencing: eBay sales are being imported as gross revenue with no deductions. eBay fees such as final value fees, promoted listing fees, and shipping label costs are not showing up in the sales order or expense records. As a result, QuickBooks is misreporting the true profit from each transaction. I would like to know: Is there a way to automatically sync eBay fees and expenses into QuickBooks? If not, what’s the best recommended workflow or app integration to ensure accurate tracking of net profits?
Hi!When I went into my Quickbooks online to reconcile for April 2025, I had about 20 entries listed from January 2024 that not only were reconciled, but were included with my final yearly accountant info for 2024. I had to mark them as uncleared in order to reconcile the difference to zero for April 2025. How do I fix this to get them off of my reconcile page?Thanks for any help!Patty
