Good afternoon pennees,
Thank you for connecting with the QuickBooks Community! Just so you know, the condensed data utility helps streamline your company data file and improve its performance. However, you could open a new company file and keep the files from 2009-2017 as historical data. And from there, import the necessary information into the new one.
Please let me know if you need further information. I will be around to help! Take care.
