Use the Microsoft Excel import to add your forecasts from Excel into Liquid.

About the Microsoft Excel import

The Microsoft Excel integration lets you import your existing forecast data from an Excel template into Liquid. You can also add employees to the forecast in bulk.

  • Support for imports based on an annual forecast template (12-month template)

  • Import of revenue, costs, journal entries, and employees

  • Also supports the import of individual transactions for revenue, costs, and journal entries.

What do you need for the Microsoft Excel import in Liquid?

You need the Annual Forecast Excel Template, which you can download in its latest version. In the template, you enter the company name and the calendar year of the forecast. For each row, you only enter the general ledger account number, and that account must also exist in Liquid.

Once the template is filled in, save the .XLSX file to your computer under a name of your choice. Then go to Accounts in Liquid and choose Excel Import. Click the New import button in the top right and follow the steps. It can take up to 10 seconds for all transactions to be imported.

Employees work differently: go to Data in Liquid and choose Staff. For this, you use a separate template, the Staff Import Template. This employee template is available for Liquid Pro.

How do I use the Microsoft Excel integration?

Frequently asked questions

You import the template into Liquid via Accounts and Excel Import, where you click New import in the top right and follow the steps. It can take up to 10 seconds before all transactions have been imported.

You can add up to 200 rows of data. Adding extra rows is not possible, because the import will then stop working. Multiple rows for the same general ledger account are allowed.

For employees you use a dedicated template, the Staff Import Template, and you import it via Data and Staff in Liquid. With every new upload, all employees are added again rather than overwritten, so delete previously imported employees before you import again.

You can replace a previously imported Excel upload with a newer version via the action button on the file and the Overwrite option. This also overwrites any changes you made in Liquid to the transactions from the previously uploaded file.
