Very often PlanGuru users want to create their budgets and forecasts by QuickBooks class, and use our consolidation utility to construct the total company budget.  PlanGuru's "Import by Class" option allows users to import all QuickBooks activity from a single class. When using this approach customers will create one analysis per class (or class roll-up), then consolidate them into the company total.  #### Using the Import by Class option 1.  From the Import Options dialog click the QuickBooks radio button ![](https://help.planguru.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/planguru.zendesk.comhcarticle_attachments360005797331image.png) 2.  Click the "Import by Class" checkbox toward the bottom of the dialog ![](https://help.planguru.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/planguru.zendesk.comhcarticle_attachments360005756732image.png) 3.  From the "Class" drop-down list select the class you want to import data from. ![](https://help.planguru.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/planguru.zendesk.comhcarticle_attachments360005797371image.png) 4. Proceed with the import process. The result will be a PlanGuru analysis including only data from the class selected in step 3.    #### Additional Suggestions Because this approach will require you to create multiple PlanGuru analysis files for your QuickBooks company you can speed up the process by using the "Save As" functionality. Using this approach you will only need to go through the full setup your first analysis. After you've created your first Class level analysis, first save your work then go to 'File>Save As' to create a new analysis for the next class level analysis you want to create.   ![](https://help.planguru.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/planguru.zendesk.comhcarticle_attachments360005756812image.png) With the new class level analysis saved you can repeat the steps 1 - 4 listed above the overwrite the historical and actual results imported for your first Class with the appropriate results for your newly created class level analysis. You can continue using the "Save As" feature until you've created an analysis for each of your QuickBooks classes.  - [PlanGuru App (Online)](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-app-online?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting Started](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-app-online?hsLang=en#getting-started) - [Setup & Import](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-app-online?hsLang=en#setup-import) - [Company Management](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-app-online?hsLang=en#company-management) - [Forecasting & Modeling](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-app-online?hsLang=en#forecasting-modeling) - [PlanGuru Analytics (powered by Reach Reporting)](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-app-online?hsLang=en#planguru-analytics-powered-by-reach-reporting) - [Standard Reports](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-app-online?hsLang=en#standard-reports) - [Updates](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-app-online?hsLang=en#updates) - [PlanGuru Desktop (Windows)](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-desktop-windows?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Updates](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-desktop-windows?hsLang=en#updates) - [Getting Started](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-desktop-windows?hsLang=en#getting-started) - [Navigating PlanGuru Desktop](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-desktop-windows?hsLang=en#navigating-planguru-desktop) - [Setup & Maintenance](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-desktop-windows?hsLang=en#setup-maintenance) - [QuickBooks Online Import](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-desktop-windows?hsLang=en#quickbooks-online-import) - [QuickBooks Desktop Import](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-desktop-windows?hsLang=en#quickbooks-desktop-import) - [Excel Import](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-desktop-windows?hsLang=en#excel-import) - [Analysis Setup](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-desktop-windows?hsLang=en#analysis-setup) - [Forecasting & Modeling](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-desktop-windows?hsLang=en#forecasting-modeling) - [Installation](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-desktop-windows?hsLang=en#installation) - [Licensing](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-desktop-windows?hsLang=en#licensing) - [Managing your PlanGuru Files](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-desktop-windows?hsLang=en#managing-your-planguru-files) - [Reporting](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-desktop-windows?hsLang=en#reporting) - [PlanGuru Analytics](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-desktop-windows?hsLang=en#planguru-analytics) - [Technical Inquiries](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-desktop-windows?hsLang=en#technical-inquiries) - [PlanGuru Desktop in Cloud Hosting](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-desktop-windows?hsLang=en#planguru-desktop-in-cloud-hosting) - [Advanced Reporting Excel Add-in](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-desktop-windows?hsLang=en#advanced-reporting-excel-add-in) - [PlanGuru University](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge/planguru-university?hsLang=en) - [PRODUCTS & PRICING](https://www.planguru.com/products/) - CUSTOMERS - [Small Businesses](https://www.planguru.com/users/small-business/) - [Nonprofits](https://www.planguru.com/users/nonprofit/) - [Accountants / Advisors](https://www.planguru.com/users/accountants-business-advisors/) - LEARNING - [Attend a Live Demo](https://www.planguru.com/products/planguru-webinar-signup/) - [PlanGuru University](https://www.planguru.com/planguru-university/) - [Sign Up for PGU](https://www.planguru.com/planguru-university/) - [PGU Class Materials & Recordings](https://www.planguru.com/planguru-university/class-materials/) - [Video Tutorials](https://www.planguru.com/learning-resources/learning-center/) - [Help Center](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge) - SUPPORT - [Help Center/ Submit a Ticket](https://help.planguru.com/knowledge) - [Downloads / Updates](https://www.planguru.com/support/downloads/) - [Try it FREE](https://www.planguru.com/products/trial/) [![logo_PlanGuru_190-1](https://help.planguru.com/hs-fs/hubfs/logo_PlanGuru_190-1.png?width=190&height=55&name=logo_PlanGuru_190-1.png "logo_PlanGuru_190-1")](https://www.planguru.com/) Copyright © 2025, PlanGuru
