Re: [GNC] Transaction Report Sign Reverses

2019-08-11 Thread Adrien Monteleone
David,

Try Display > Amount > Double (default is ’Single’)

I’m not sure why this works when both debit & credit columns are visible, and 
not when only the credit column is visible, but it does.

I have my Global preference for Sign Reverses set to ‘Credit Accounts’ and I 
set the report to ‘Global Preference’.

Regards,
Adrien

[GNC] Transaction Report Sign Reverses

2019-08-11 Thread David T. via gnucash-user

Hello,

I am trying to create a YTD Capital Gains report, and am encountering a 
problem with how the Transaction Report implements the Sign Reverses 
setting.


I recall some time back a discussion about the fact that the Sign 
Reverses setting reverses signs in these reports in a confusing way. 
There was some discussion about reversing the individual transactions 
but not the totals. Although I do not recall the specifics of the 
discussion, I am encountering the same situation now, where the 
transactions themselves respect the user setting, but the totals do not. 
To say this is confusing is an understatement.


It seems to me that other financial applications must have encountered 
the problem of displaying income to users as a positive value (since 
that is how most of us view income!) while still finding a way to 
display the correct accounting information.


To display my YTD report of Capital Gains, I ran a Transaction Report 
and selected the Income:Realized Gains accounts for the current year. 
The result shows losses as positive numbers, and gains as negative. I 
don't know about you, but my expectation is reversed from this. If I 
change the Sign Reverses setting to Income and Expense, then the 
transactions switch, but the totals do not. This result was the gist of 
the discussion in an earlier thread. Bleah!


Now, I know that I can copy the data, paste it into another program and 
change all the settings to my heart's content, but I am looking for a 
way to run a report in GnuCash that directly and unambiguously shows me 
whether I have gained money (a positive) or lost it (a negative) over 
the current year. Does anyone have suggestions?


FWIW, I attempted to turn this report around and have a report that 
lists transactions in the asset accounts, filtered by the 
Income:Realized Gains accounts, but that seems to report only the Asset 
account currency--in this case, the mutual fund or stock shares involved 
on the Gain/Loss transaction. Unfortunately, that's not the actual 
Gain/Loss value...


It would be nice if the sign reverses setting could be fixed. Barring 
that, does anyone have a workaround report setup that can give me a 
sensible YTD Capital Gains total as described?

Re: [GNC] journal entries

2019-08-11 Thread David Cousens via gnucash-user
Harald,

The following section in the GnuCash help manual gives the details of
creating a transaction entry in GnuCash
(https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-help/trans-enter.html). 

It assumes that you have the register (table of transactions for a specific
account) open.  You can do this in the Accounts tab which is the first
window GnuCash opens at by double clicking on a specific account, e.g. an
Asset:Current Assets: Checking Account if you have initially created a
default Common Account heirarchy when you first opened GnuCash.

Gnucash is a formal double entry accounting package. To use it effectively
you will need at least some basic information on double entry accounting
which is presented in the section headed The Basics in the Getting Started
section of the guide
(https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-guide/chapter_basics.html) that
John referred you to earlier.  

The help manual referenced above is a description of the GnuCash interfaces
and how to use them  while the Tutorial and Concepts guide is more oriented
at how to perform common  accounting functions using GnuCash.

To track a single expense you will require a minimum of two accounts, one
Asset account to record where the cash (e.g. Asset:CurrentAssets:Cash in
Wallet) you are paying for drugs is coming from and an Expense account to
record your purchases of drugs from the pharmacy (e.g.
Expense:Pharmacy:Drugs) and each purchase is recorded as taking money from
your cash account ( a credit to it) and a corresponding debit entry to the
Expense:Pharmacy:Drugs accountto record receiving the drugs in return for
the money.  

If this is the only expenditure you really want to track GnuCash will
possibly be overkill for you and a simple spreadsheet may better meet your
needs.

[GNC] Windows Report Options Dialog Setting

2019-08-11 Thread David T. via gnucash-user

Hello,

GnuCash 3.5 on Windows 10.

I have discovered a UI problem that I believe to be a bug. It appears 
that if a user maximizes the Options dialog for a report, and then saves 
the options by clicking OK, the maximized window size becomes the 
default options window size from that point forward. This newly-saved 
window has the added unfortunate behavior that the edges of this window 
are not resizable without first moving the window, so it appears to the 
user as if the new arrangement for this dialog is a permanent change.


This is confusing; I was prepared to ask the list how I should get back 
the options dialog as a window, but ultimately figured out the odd steps 
needed to reset the window dimensions.


I would expect that the original window size would remain in effect, and 
that the maximized toggle status would also remain in effect. In other 
words, if I reopen the options dialog, I would either expect to see the 
original dialog window dimensions *or* a maximized dialog window that 
allows me to toggle back to normal size.


Instead, some version of the maximized window size is saved as the new 
dialog size. I say "some size" because the options window that opens up 
on subsequent tries is not the full screen--and the maximize button 
opens the (previously maximized) dialog a little bit more.


As I said, I believe this behavior is a bug.

David T.

Re: [GNC] FX fetching strangeness

2019-08-11 Thread Jeff Abrahamson
Ah, that works, thanks.  Although within gnucash I'm now able to update
USD, CHF, and GBP against EUR but JPY gives an error (Get Quote ->
"Unable to retrieve quotes for these items: ... Continue using only the
good quotes?").

I read that I am limited to 5 quote per minute, this would be three plus
an error.  So I presume it's not that.  Except that if I first do a
single quote from the commandline, gnucash then fails on two of the four
instead of three of the four.  So it's looking like rate limit.

Re: [GNC] FX fetching strangeness

2019-08-11 Thread John Ralls
The "alphavantage" source is for stock quotes. To retrieve currency exchange 
rates use "currency":

gnc-fq-dump currency EUR JPY
1 EUR = 118.31 JPY

That's hard-coded inside of Finance::Quote to use alphavantage and so requires 
an API key.

 I do can search TDB900 on this website and find the correct fund.

Re: [GNC] Get online quote for Canada Fund

2019-08-11 Thread Ove Grunnér
I was looking at the code in cpan, and it looks like the module is using
this base url

http://www.fundlibrary.com/funds/db/_fundcard.asp?t=2=

and then adding the code after it, e.g.
http://www.fundlibrary.com/funds/db/_fundcard.asp?t=2=1743

however when trying this url, I get Error 404, unknown web page,

It could be that the module is not current and fails on everything.

if you are comfortable with perl, you could try changing the url in the module.

I tried also to retrieve the mutual fund from my ubuntu based gnucash,
and it also fails.

there are contact details for this module on this url:
https://metacpan.org/author/ECOCODE

the author of the code may be able to help more.

br Ove.

[GNC] Importing FX rates into gnucash

2019-08-11 Thread Jeff Abrahamson
I have a table of historic FX rates I'd like to import into gnucash.  I
don't see how to do this inside gnucash, and googling about and reading
the docs I don't see mention of it.  Is this possible?  Or is there a
work-around?  (I'm using the sqlite backend, if that matters, which I
hope it doesn't. ;-)

Thanks!

I'm I confused or is there a different way of fetching JPY FX?

Re: [GNC] Price in Register Account report not decimal

2019-08-11 Thread John Ralls
That preference is for the GUI. I don't think that it has any affect on reports.

I can reproduce this, where a price for 5712 shares has a value of 85,505.78 
and is represented as 14.9695 in the register but as 14 + 276889/285600 on the 
Account Report. I don't think that there's an immediate solution for that other 
than to paste the report into a spreadsheet and stick an '=' in front of the 
price to make it a formula.

Regards,
John Ralls

Re: [GNC] Setting up a new accounting scheme in GnuCash

2019-08-11 Thread Frank ter Braak
Together with alle the previous posts this final explanation helped a lot.
I finally feel equipped to start building my own scheme or know where to add my 
own accounts to the existing logic of GnuCash.

Thanks to Frank, Adrien, David and Liz!

Re: [GNC] Get online quote for Canada Fund

2019-08-11 Thread Ove Grunnér
Hi Kaman,

according to https://metacpan.org/pod/Finance::Quote::Cdnfundlibrary
"This module uses an id that represents the mutual fund on an id used by
www.fundlibrary.com. There is no easy way of fetching the id except to jump
onto the fundlibrary website, look up the fund and view the url for clues
to its id number."
the url for TDB900 is:
https://www.fundlibrary.com/MutualFunds/Detail/td-canadian-index-fund-e-series/1743
so try 1743

br Ove.

I should have stated that flag is already turned on and I've cycled it
number of times and it makes no difference to the Register Account Report.

Have you tried that again since you upgraded to 3.6?
Also are you sure it is definitely running 3.6?  Check in Help > About.

I think that may have been a bug in 3.3.  Why are you not using the
latest available for Windows, which is 3.6 I think?

Thanks for your comments Collin.

I've loaded 3.6 and the same thing happens.  Don't know where to go from here 
as I need these reports for my auditor.
