Dale, Not sure what you perceive as a problem with that department store import. It is perfectly normal to need to make some corrections in the matching step of the import. That is why that step is there. Some files will go more smoothly than others. Imports from one of my credit cards all come in with every amount reversed, for example, and there is no way I could get them to fix that.
