I've written a simple XSLT transformation for the Gnucash XML file. It
spits out an HTML file with a 4-column table, "Account Name", "Date
Entered", "Number", "Descriptions", "Value". The "Value" column values
are preceded by an '='. This makes it easy to import into OOo Calc, due
to the way values are stored in our XML file.
To use:
1) Install saxon or xalan, if you don't have it. Or any other XML->XSLT
processor, for that matter (e.g., msxsl on Windows).
2) Copy your Gnucash data file to <file>.xml somewhere. DO NOT WORK ON
YOUR ORIGINAL FILE!!
3) In the <file>.xml, near the top, change <gnc:v2> to the text in
SECTION A below. Save the file.
4) Run <file>.xml and the attached XSLT through the XSLT processor of
your choice. I use saxan, e.g.:
saxon -o finances.html finances.xml finances.xsl
5) Open the HTML in your browser for inspection, or in OpenOffice Calc
for editing.
I've limited the date range to date-entered in the year 2003. You can
change that in the XSLT file.
This stylesheet is more a reference than anything. It groups all the
data by Account, not by transaction. That's easy enough to change, if
you muck about with the for-each loops. Once you see how it works, it's
possible to go in and rearrange stuff differently. Just don't use your
main data file! Always use a copy to muck with.
Enjoy,
