Re: [GNC] Trouble with import and splits
It's unfortunate but successfully importing a lot of data often requires a fairly detailed knowledge of how GnuCash functions and how that differs from the program being imported from and when we need to do this is usually when our experience is minimal. I did it over 10 years ago now with several years of data coming from MYOB. I did it in 6 month blocks working backwards reconciling forward while using GnuCash for my day to day accounting. There was quite a bit of manual fixing of the imports involved. I did use some macros in Excel at the time to massage the data and then re-export it in CSV before importing into GnuCash. Hopefully this might get easier when the documentation is updated.

I've spent a lot of time trying to automate my migration and so far I haven't been able to do it well, but I keep trying, finally giving up and doing it manually. I took your suggestion and exported an account with transactions similar to the ones I mentioned in my original post - without the ability to write good script, it appears I'd spend a lot more time massaging .csv data into usable form that might not be quite good enough. I think I'll do it manually.

Re: [GNC] Trouble with import and splits
AFAIK the import process for securites and transactions with currency changes is problematical even when importing data re-exported from GnuCash. It is on my list of things to test out systematically and document. I imported some dual- currency transactions after a trip to Singpore earlier this year. I had to do quite a bit of fiddling with the price before I managed to get it to make sense and work. part of that was my own inexperience in doing it and that capability was new in v3 and has yet to be documented fully. I had one attempt at creating a dummy security export and re-importing when Geert first rewrote the importer for V3, which didn't work. It found the available documentation on the importer not too helpful and decided I needed to understand the operation of the importer with simpler cases first and document that before getting back to securities. One thing you could try is to create a correct dummy transaction of the type(s) you need to import, export them to CSV using the multi-split multi-line ( default GnuCash Export Format) and then try reimporting them into GnuCash using the same format. If that works you can examine the CSV export format and put your import data in the same format before trying to import it.

That has the added advantage that if you do it more than once per billing period, the presence of the unique transaction ID makes it trivially easy for the import matcher to throw out duplicates without even having to ask you about them.

Re: [GNC] Trouble with import and splits
First, you do not specify the type of file that you are importing from. Since CSV, QIF and OFX imports each use different code, that is important to know. Second, you must be using version 3.something because release 2.6.x was unable to import stock transactions, but it would help to know your operating system and the exact release you are using. This may be an unreported bug or one that is described differently than your description. The developers and other users may be able to help if you provide the above information. I have not taken the plunge to the 3.x release series yet, so that is all I can suggest.

[GNC] Trouble with import and splits
I can't get the split to calculate a price properly after an import. The account block in the Import Preview is right and the debit amount is right and in the proper account after import, the split accounts are right (after the import matcher), and the deposit amount is right and it goes to into debit. (Assume small dividends being re-invested.) The share amount is wrong - it's the same number as the dollar amount because the default price is $1.00, but I expect that because I don't know of a "number of shares" column in the import screen. Here's an example of one Dividend Re-Investment line after import: Tot Shares - 102.5, Share Price 1.00, Total Debit 102.5.(This latter is accurate.) It provides me with three splits the base account and two for the Transfer/Destination account, one for 3.107, and the other 99.393, both of the latter two are the Transfer/Destination account, but I don't know what the separate amounts signify. My actions: Change Number of Shares to 3.136 in order to allow GC to calculate the price at approximately $32.68. I click down into the first split line and the Recalculate Transaction box pops up allowing me to choose "Recalculate Price," which I do. It then recalculates the price back to $1.00 and changes the number of shares back to the 102.5, the correct number if share price were $1.00. This seems to take place only after I've imported transactions, not when I create them all from scratch. I haven't been able to locate this as a known bug, but it's possible I'm searching for the wrong terms. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Please get a stack trace (see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Stack_Trace for instructions if you're not familiar with debugging) and attach it to a new bug report.

Re: [GNC] Suggestion to ease newbies import problems
In order to minimize errors during import I first exported the account (categories) tree and imported that into GC. We’re there still errors?, yes but it was manageable.

I just figured it out. Chase uses a blank line instead of a line containing only the "^" character to separate transactions. I'm using this to strip the top blank line: sed -i '/./,$!d' file.qif and then this to replace all blank lines with the "^" character: sed -i 's/^[[:blank:]]*$/^/' file.qif That seems to work.

Re: [GNC] Can not insert text on transaction after import QIF
I've experienced 3.7 crashing to the desktop when attempting to insert text into a journal transaction, no .csv imports involved. But, I'm running Ubuntu 19.10 (pre-beta) and got 3.7 from the sicklylife.ppa. Too many variables there to draw meaningful conclusions. The crashes weren't consistent, but more importantly, haven't happened for a couple of Eoan update cycles so I wrote them off as development issues and quit worrying about it. In light of David's report I'll keep a closer eye on it and if it happens again try to harvest some useful troubleshooting data.

In all seriousness, I recall that when I tried to import my data from Quicken, I ran into so many problems and inaccuracies of the transactions going into the wrong GnuCash account, etc., that I concluded it was just easier and I'd have more confidence in entering the transactions manually from the accounts that were important to me for X period of time, then have to spend hours and hours reviewing "imported" entries and trying to chase down inaccuracies.

Re: [GNC] Can not insert text on transaction after import QIF
What is the source of your import files? Once the data in in a data file it stays there and can be read by the next GnuCash release similar to a document that can be read by a document editor. The import process would only be a one-time thing. David Carlson On Thu, Sep 26, 2019 at 4:58 AM Christopher Lam wrote: > This is unfortunate.

Re: [GNC] Can not insert text on transaction after import QIF
This is unfortunate. Perhaps you could anonymize a sample qif file which fails and attach into a bug report ? It's plain text, so easy to modify.

[GNC] Can not insert text on transaction after import QIF
After a huge effort to install Gnucash 3.7 on a Win 10 machine and then on a production build (no errors- all dependencies met) of Gnucash 3.7 from tarball on a Linux box, I failed to get a working program. I was able to load GnuCash3.7 in the Win 10 box with Qif files that numbered over a thousand transactions after failing with the "new" csv importer - the csv could not handle liabilities/credit cards and, it seems that anything over ten (US) bank transactions, it blows up. Anyway, after getting the files into the Win 10 adaption and seemingly working, now, by moving the .gnucash file over to the Linux build I find myself not being able to work with the transactions at all. I click on a line to insert text, say a note line or action or even the description line, the program just closes, bye bye, lights out. There seems to be some type of text box that highlights when clicked, but any further touches - bye! Restart, same situation, can't touch it - yet in the Win 10 I seem to be OK. Any ideas here?? I only use the Win 10 machine to handle the Excel/CSV Construction for the file import and QIF from there. This is a long convoluted route I've been using over the years - I've only been able to work with QIF, not QFX, aqbanking,etc, none of it. The Linux box is my production machine set on Linuxmint 19.2. Proofing this accounting on the Win 10 machine is a real pain.
