I can also try on a Linux box. !Account NAssets:Investments:Brokerage Account:Joint Brokerage TInvst ^ !Type:Bank D01/11/2020 NPayment/Deposit PTrf My Bank CX T1,000.00 MDeposit LAssets:Current Assets:My Bank ^ !Type:Invst D12/2/2022 NBuy PXYZ, INC YXYZ I150 T450 Q3 CR M3 shares @ 150; Nothing to see here ^ !Type:Invst D1/1/2023 NDiv PXYZ, INC YXYZ T16.23 CR MInvestments:Dividend Income; Still nothing ^ > On Jan 3, 2023, at 16:09, Kalpesh Patel <[email protected]> wrote: > > Your QIF may not be complete.
