Moneydance Extensions Developed by Mike Bray

A number of Extensions have been developed to help with understanding Moneydance and adding features not readily available in the standard product.

THESE EXTENSIONS HAVE BEEN TESTED BUT YOU USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. THEY HAVE BEEN TESTED MAINLY ON WINDOWS. THE SECURITY PRICE AND SECURITY HISTORY LOADS AND THE QUOTE LOADER HAVE BEEN TESTED ON OSX.

The information presented here is relevant for both Moneydance 2017 and 2019

  1. A Budget Generator - the 'New' format budgets within Moneydance have prescribed periods and start dates. This extension allows you to enter different cost patterns and then generate the appropriate budget entries within Moneydance

  2. File Display - if you are developing extensions for Moneydance and you wish to understand the contents of your file, this extension displays the contents of the current file

  3. Security Price/History Load - loads security prices from a .csv file. There are two extensions. One aimed at loading current prices and one aimed at loading historical prices

  4. Security Transaction Load - loads transactions from investment and security accounts using a .csv file

  5. Budget Report - reports on budget verses actual with the ability to roll-up actuals into parent categories

  6. Reporting - a generic utility that is used for all reports

  7. Quote Loader - captures new security and currency prices from FT.com or Yahoo.com

Parameter Files

These extensions store parameters in files that are located in the directory for the current file. See Parameters for the names of the various files created.
