Selecting Multiple Transactions in the Banking Window

Click-and-drag selection is a handy trick in the QuickBooks desktop versions to quickly mark a continuous group of transactions “cleared” in the bank reconciliation window. Unfortunately click-and-drag does not work in QBO. And sadly, the multiple-selection feature that I discuss here will not work in the reconciliation window in QBO.  There is currently no shortcut in the new QBO to select multiple transactions in one click. 

But there is a multiple selection shortcut in the new Transactions:Banking menu, which is the new online banking “holding queue” for transactions which are awaiting your acceptance to be posted to QBO (known as Bank Feeds in the desktop versions). Similar to the Windows and Mac OS multiple selection trick, select a transaction by checking the checkbox and then to hold Shift and select a transaction above or below the first one you selected. All transactions in between will be checked as well. This is helpful when you would like to select a chunk of transactions for batch acceptance, exclusion or modification.
