Ah, text file encoding problems!

What is the character encoding of the CSV file?  Are the bytes in that 
file indeed in the Windows-1255 encoding? Or are they perhaps in UTF-8?


It is important that the Import Encoding which you select match the 
actual encoding of the file you are importing.


I hope this is helpful, and not too self-evident.

I presume that you will not have 100s of expense accounts.  You would 
have to do the mapping once per code word.  Just once.

I have used the CSV importer several times to great advantage.  At a

3.  Account Code -- Something that will uniquely identify the "other
account".  I tend to use 3-4 character (sometime just 2) codes
easy for
me to remember.  These will get mapped (by you) to the real GnC
account
during the import process.
4.  Amount -- I sometimes have to specify that this is a negative
amount
(even though the file has positive values).

During the import you will have to specify the base account. This
will
be the checking account.  This is a field on the import screen --
not in
your file.
At some point you will map the above fields to tell the imported
which
one is the date, which one is the Other Account, which one is the
description and which one is the amount (or negative amount).

Test this out in a test environment first.

Save all your mapping to a file name so you can pull it back up
for real
(or for future use).  It is there on the setup screen.

At some point you will have the setup all done and will go NEXT.  At
this point it will list all the codes you used and ask you to map
those
to the real accounts (I presume expenses).

Good luck.

Re: [GNC] CSV Import

2023-08-24 Thread Stephen M. Butler
I have used the CSV importer several times to great advantage.  At a 
minimum you need the following columns:


1.  Date -- be sure that you set the importer to the date format you 
used.  I use MM/DD/.

2.  Description -- What you want in the transaction description.
3.  Account Code -- Something that will uniquely identify the "other 
account".  I tend to use 3-4 character (sometime just 2) codes easy for 
me to remember.  These will get mapped (by you) to the real GnC account 
during the import process.
4.  Amount -- I sometimes have to specify that this is a negative amount 
(even though the file has positive values).


During the import you will have to specify the base account.  This will 
be the checking account.  This is a field on the import screen -- not in 
your file.
At some point you will map the above fields to tell the imported which 
one is the date, which one is the Other Account, which one is the 
description and which one is the amount (or negative amount).


Test this out in a test environment first.

Jackielou,

This suggestion may seem inefficient, but I think you might get the job
done faster by just entering the 500 transactions manually, which I
imagine you know how to do.

I've never done an import myself, but as I understand it you have to
teach GnuCash to recognize transactions the way you want. That takes
time, which you could be using to enter transactions right into GC, a
process I assume you are comfortable with. And 500 is really not many.

That's what I did in early 2018 when I converted my 2011-2017 data to
GC. It was over 15,000 transactions, but once I got going it went very
quickly. Sure, I had to deal with each transaction individually, but I
would have had to check each one anyway if I had tried an import. And
along the way, I noticed inconsistencies in how I had treated similar
events, and fixed them. For me, at least, the process was less painful
than spending a lot of time learning and tinkering with a batch import
process that I would probably never need to use again.

If you still want to pursue importing, I think it would be helpful if
you could be a lot more specific about what process you are following,
what results you see in GC, and what error message you get (if any).
Maybe import _one_ transaction, and provide that information?

Re: [GNC] CSV Import

2023-08-24 Thread David Cousens
Jackielou,

The file looks ok.  You will need to have created the accounts in the transfer
column before importing. You may have to experiment with the header to apply to
the amount column. Assuming you are importing the transactions into an account
of type Asset, e.g. a bank account then normally assigning the deposit header to
the column with the Amounts should import OK. Try a small sample first and if it
doesn't import with debit transactions for the +ve amounts in the Amount column
of your import file switch the header assigned to Withdrawal. For the other
columns assigning the header that matches the column name  should be ok. Make
sure the date format is "mm-dd-yyy" in the CSV setup dialogue. Unfortunately
with CSV importing it takes a bit of fiddling but once you have a correct setup
for importing for a given source you can save the setup and recall it next time
you have to import from the same source


You will need to either specify transfer accounts for all the entries and the
accounts will have to have been created prior to the import or you will need to
assign them at the import matcher dialogue of the import procedure. You can
create new accounts from the account tab while in the import matcher dialogue
(while keeping it open) if they do not exist and then assign them to the
transactions in the import matcher dialogue. In most cases these appear to be
transfers to the account you are importing into from another asset account most
likely a main bank account to cover salary expenses.

If this doesn't work for you can you post some screenshots of the import
matching process for the above file.

If GnuCash crashes then this is very likely the same issues as
https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798877
(https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798799 is a duplicate of this one)

That issue has now been fixed and will appear in tomorrow's nightly. You can 
try that one to 
test if you like.

Re: [GNC] CSV import crash in 5.0+

2023-04-21 Thread R Losey
Also speaking as a pro, this topic of error checking causes quite a lot of
debate at work.

We all agree that input from users (and other untrusted sources) should be
fully error-checked (and, for this case of CSV import data, I agree it
should be considered untrusted).

But when there is an agreed-upon machine interface from A to B, if A
violates the interface and crashes B, that is A's problem [this is my
position, and many support it; however, the other position is that B should
not crash and should always do sufficient checking so that it does not
crash]. Likewise, calls to system services are considered trustworthy, so
the results are not error-checked... (the status may be checked for a
problem, but the data is generally considered safe; for example, I don't
know of anyone who error-checks the call to get the current time.)

There are two open CSV crashers, 
https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798799 and 
https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798830. The first is about the CSV 
having fewer fields
in the first line than in the second and while GnuCash shouldn't crash in that 
case IMO it should
reject the file as ill-formed. The second involves entries having a '/' 
character.

If your problem file matches neither of those please file a new bug report. Be 
sure to attach
the trace file[1] and if possible a stack trace[2].

It is (should be) the responsibility of a program to check incoming data 
and reject any data that is bad (preferably with a meaningful error

[GNC] CSV Import Crash in GNC 5.0+

2023-04-20 Thread Joseph Vernice
I am using the nightly build 5.0.77 on Windows 11.  Ever since upgrading to
5.0 (and above nightly builds) I am unable to import transactions from
CSV.  The system crashes when I select the CSV import profile or when I try
to create a new one.  The crash occurs immediately after selecting the
profile OR after assigning the AMOUNT column when creating a new one.
I have resorted to the latest
pre-5.0 build (4.14) in order to import from CSV.  Unfortunately, my Fidelity
checking account only allows for CSV export, so this is an essential means
for me to import into gnucash. Thank you everyone for all your help.

Re: [GNC] CSV Import Problem

2022-09-15 Thread David Cousens
Charles,

If you look at the Withdrawal and Deposit columns in the Import Wizard, you will
notice that the entries in the Withdrawal column  are negative while those in
the Deposit column are positive quantities. 

GnuCash can import data in a single column format where both the Withdrawal and
Deposit Amounts are in the same colum but they have different signs. Where they
are separate columns for the Withdrawals and Deposits from an account GnuCash
reasonably expects both columns to be positive quantities. 

This is generally the default format for a bank which will normally record
deposits to your bank account as Credits and withdrawals fromn your account as
Debits. This is because the bank treats your accounmt in their hands as a
liability to them, whereas in your accounts it is an asset and debit and credit
amounts are normally recorded in accounting practice as positive quantities.

What has happened is that when GnuCash has imported the data, it has treated
both the Withdrawal and Deposit column entries as Debit entries to the account
in GnuCash which is why you have the incorrect positive balance.

To fix this you can either change the negative quantities in the Withdrawal
column to positive numbers and then try re importing or you can combine the
numbers in those two columns into a single column into a single column and
retain the signs. 

If you create a single column assigning the Deposit header to that column should
give you a correct import. If it doesn't give you the correct balance then you
may need to assign the Withdrawal headerbut it has always worked for me
assigning the Deposit header.

Re: [GNC] CSV Import Problem

2022-09-14 Thread David Carlson
There is a huge amount of flexibility in the CSV importer, and it has been
working well for a long time.

It is far more likely that there is an error in your configuration or the
source file.  Did you start with a small test file with just enough
transactions to verify that your configuration is doing what you expect?  I
am not familiar with Moneyspire so I don't know if you have many accounts,
perhaps a mix of assets and liabilities that could provide further
complication.

We would need more specific details to help you further.

[GNC] CSV Import Problem

2022-09-14 Thread cavery
Hi,

 

I am running GNUcash version 4.11 on Windows 11.

 

I have created a CSV file from Moneyspire and I want to import this into
GNUcash however many of the credits to the bank accounts are treated as
debits and debits treated as credits but not always.  I have inspected the
CSV file with Excel and also Wordpad and it looks fine.  It would appear
GNUcash has a problem with CSV files.

You have to set the import encoding to match the csv file's encoding on the 
third page of the import assistant, the one where you mapped your import 
columns to the corresponding GnuCash fields. See the attached screenshot.

You probably want the Windows-1255 one.

Re: [GNC] CSV Import Reconciled field

2021-12-03 Thread Kalpesh Patel
I joined up later in the 3.X releases so likely missed the earlier notes and 
didn’t go in the past version to catch-up on it. 

 

I also was looking for much easier way to import, similar to importing bank 
debit/credit transactions, as my format looks like this:

-0.116


3/13/2020

JPM EQUITY INCOME R6

   3.448


 

 

 

 

 

 

But I assume that I am not going to succeed without some preprocessing to get 
aligned what csv importer is expecting.

Kalpesh,

 

When the CSV importer was upgraded early in the release 3.x series, it was 
intended to work with investment transactions.  It is designed to import the 
majority of variations available in split transactions with more than two 
splits.  

 

I am starting to test it with my investment accounts in release 3.8 in Ubuntu, 
and finding that I need to do some fine tuning, but I need to do more testing 
for my case.  However, I think that the reconciliation flag code may be working 
in that release, but I simply accepted the standard treatment.

Hi Ove - 



I was curious what types of Stock Transactions you are importing properly
via CSV format into GNC.



I was under the belief that purchase/sale of securities/commodities was not
supported via CSV import process in GNC (or I was mistaken) so if it is
possible then I wouldn't mind learning how to accomplish that.



I have always fallen back with QIF import for importing stocks/securities
transactions if OFX/QFX isn't supported by the broker as QIF format provided
much better control of transactions being imported. I can also export from
Quicken, manipulate, and then import to keep GNC up-to-date if need be.

Hello Ove,



Your procedure is very creative and I hope we can solve your problem.  I
believe that the CSV importer should respect the desired state of the
reconciliation flag, so the fact that it does not is a problem in my
opinion.



First, your problem may be the result of a recent bug in the CSV import that
may or may not be resolved in the current GnuCash release 4.8.

However, to help track it down, please tell us what release you are using,
your operating system, and the installation type(e.g. Distro, Flatpak,

compiled) .



Second, technically, credit cards are always considered to be liabilities in
accounting applications.  I realize that you are not following technically
correct accounting procedures, and your procedure works for you (at least it
did earlier), but you may run into problems if you try to balance bank
account payments against credit card bills later.  Thus, I suggest trying to
modify your procedure to follow accounting conventions.



We look forward to hearing from you.

Hi David, I did some more testing on Flatpack
Version: 4.8
Build ID: Flathub 4.8-1

"Edit > Preferences > Online Banking > QIF import > default transaction

It has the same behaviour as on distro version 4.4
"Edit > Preferences > Online Banking > QIF import > default transaction
status" is set to "Not cleared".

I also noted that it is only the sub-transaction that correspond to the
first line in the multi line csv file that is set to "c", all other
sub-transactions get set to "n" as expected.
I may therefore be able to work around my specific issue by never having
the Asset:Card Receipts account as the first line in the csv import file.





Thanks also to Geert for his suggestions,

I included an example of an import file below, I hope the html table
survives any email conversions...
When I go through the import pages, there is a page called "Match
Transactions" I think you refer to this page.
here I can override any matching, by selecting one of the 3 options

   1. A (New, Already Balanced)
   2. U+C (Match Missing)
   3. C (Match Missing)

Assuming there is not already a matching transaction.
In either case, I always need to select "A" as I need to create a new
transaction.

You don't show an example of the csv file you make so I'll be generic in my 
reply.


In principle if you don't assign a reconcile column in the CSV import preview 
page, the code 
specific to csv importing won't clear or reconcile any of your splits. Same if 
that column has 
"n" as reconcile value.


However at the end of the import assistant there's another page that allow for 
transaction 
matching (this bit is generic and shared across importers). GnuCash uses 
heuristics to 
attempt to match your imported data to pre-existing transactions. Depending on 
the 
outcome of that algorithm and manual manipulations by you, your transactions 
may still be 
marked as cleared. I can't give you much more details there as I haven't used 
that bit very 
much.

Ove,

I think one thing to check regarding the reconciliation status for newly
imported transactions with the CSV importer would be the Edit > Preferences
> Online Banking > QIF import > default transaction status to see if it is
still set to Cleared.  I know that should (I think) be ignored for CSV
imports, but there is no equivalent setting for CSV imports, at least as of
the 3.8 GnuCash release.  I am surprised no one has confirmed whether or
not it is broken in release 4.6 or 4.8.

Where the CSV importer--along with most of the rest of GnuCash--works poorly is 
when there are 3 or more commodities/currencies involved. The most common 
example is when one trades in stock denominated in a different currency from 
your own, for example a Canadian whose books are in CAD buying US stock 
denominated in USD.

Kalpesh,

When the CSV importer was upgraded early in the release 3.x series, it was
intended to work with investment transactions.  It is designed to import
the majority of variations available in split transactions with more than
two splits.

I am starting to test it with my investment accounts in release 3.8 in
Ubuntu, and finding that I need to do some fine tuning, but I need to do
more testing for my case.  However, I think that the reconciliation flag
code may be working in that release, but I simply accepted the standard
treatment.

Re: [GNC] CSV Import Reconciled field - Sideline question

2021-11-16 Thread Ove

Hello Patel,

[I changed the title of the email so hopefully it will create a separate 
trail and not mix up with my initial query ]



I can do most things with both QIF and Multi line CVS in regards to 
Stock/securities (that  I need to do)


e.g.

 * Stock Purchase with commission
 * Stock Sell with commission
 * Dividend with tax and with fee and zero buy stock to align the
   dividend with the stock
 * Stock Split or more precisely Add Stock at zero cost

the one thing I was not able to do with QIF was to align the Dividend 
with the Stock, so that the "Advanced Portfolio" report would correctly 
recognise the Dividend to the Stock.


Since I have trading accounts active, I also add a line for each trading 
account transaction when required. I am not sure if I have to do this, 
but it is easy to do when I create the export CSV file programmatically.


I find the CSV multi-line format very easy to work with because you can 
add any combination of lines to a transaction.


What in particular are you having a problem with importing using CSV?


kind regards Ove.

I have always fallen back with QIF import for importing

broker as QIF format provided much better control of transactions 
being imported. I can also export from Quicken, manipulate, and then

Hello Ove,

Your procedure is very creative and I hope we can solve your problem.  
I believe that the CSV importer should respect the desired state of 
the reconciliation flag, so the fact that it does not is a problem in 
my opinion.


First, your problem may be the result of a recent bug in the CSV 
import that may or may not be resolved in the current GnuCash release 4.8.


However, to help track it down, please tell us what release you are 
using, your operating system, and the installation type(e.g. Distro,

Second, technically, credit cards are always considered to be

into problems if you try to balance bank account payments against

We look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Ove - 

 

I was curious what types of Stock Transactions you are importing properly
via CSV format into GNC.

 

I was under the belief that purchase/sale of securities/commodities was not
supported via CSV import process in GNC (or I was mistaken) so if it is
possible then I wouldn't mind learning how to accomplish that.

 

I have always fallen back with QIF import for importing stocks/securities
transactions if OFX/QFX isn't supported by the broker as QIF format provided
much better control of transactions being imported. I can also export from
Quicken, manipulate, and then import to keep GNC up-to-date if need be.

I just wanted to confirm what David told you, credit cards are always a 
liability because it is money you owe to someone.  Being an accountant, I can 
tell you that is always the correct way to record the transaction.  You should 
debit the expanse account (Groceries, Gas (Fuel), etc.) and credit the credit 
card account.  Then when you get the credit card statement, you can reconcile 
that to the liability account (credit card) and record any receipts you may 
have missed during the month.

Hello Ove,

Your procedure is very creative and I hope we can solve your problem.  I
believe that the CSV importer should respect the desired state of the
reconciliation flag, so the fact that it does not is a problem in my
opinion.

First, your problem may be the result of a recent bug in the CSV import
that may or may not be resolved in the current GnuCash release 4.8.
However, to help track it down, please tell us what release you are using,
your operating system, and the installation type(e.g. Distro, Flatpak,
compiled) .

Second, technically, credit cards are always considered to be liabilities
in accounting applications.  I realize that you are not following
technically correct accounting procedures, and your procedure works for you
(at least it did earlier), but you may run into problems if you try to
balance bank account payments against credit card bills later.  Thus, I
suggest trying to modify your procedure to follow accounting conventions.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Re: [GNC] CSV Import Reconciled field

Thanks David,


First the SW Details:
Gnucash version: 4.4
Build ID: 4.4+(2020-12-28)
Finance::Quote: 1.51
Type: Distro

Installed by "sudo apt install gnucash"
$ uname -a
Linux Conf-VirtualBox 5.13.0-21-generic #21-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 19 08:59:28
UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 21.10
Release: 21.10
Codename: impish

Running on VirtualBox on CentOS on Ryzen AMD.

Then, the Account structure, thanks for the info on Credit Card being
liability, it makes sense.
Asset:Credit Card [the "Account Type" is actually set to "Credit Card" but
the parent directory is set to "Asset", and the Name of the toplevel
account is "Asset" which is why I had shown Asset:]
Asset:Card Receipts [ this "Account Type" is set to "Asset"]

I hope having a Credit Card as a child to an Asset Account is OK???

Happy to raise a bug if it helps.

kind regards Ove.

[GNC] CSV Import Reconciled field

2021-11-16 Thread Ove Grunnér
 Hello, all

I am in the process of changing from QIF import to CSV import of data and
have encountered a difference in the functionality that I am trying to
understand better in order to make it compatible with my own process, or
change my own process to suit the functionality.


My Account Structure is in principle:

Asset:Credit Card
Asset:Card Receipts
Expenses:Various Expense accounts


My process to date have been to Scan all receipts and based on the file
names of each receipt, [ e.g. 20211231_VISA CARD_09.99_EUR_Place of
Sale_Category or Transfer Account_Note ] I then generate a QIF file and
import all receipts this way to [Asset:Card Receipts] in gnucash.

For bank and credit card statements I have then converted the statements I
download from Online to QIF format, and then I import these QIF files to
GnuCash, where the Account is always [Asset:Credit Card], and the transfer
account is always [Asset:Card Receipts]

As such, "Card Receipts" should always be Zero in the long run,
if it is positive I am missing a receipt, and if it is negative the
purchase has not yet showed up on my Credit Card.

I then have a report that shows all Non-Reconciled transactions in
[Asset:Card Receipts]
When Card statement and Receipts match, I manually click the R column to
set state to Reconciled.
I find this very easy to work with, as I decide the Expense category when I
name the receipt, and I can very easily reconcile it to make sure All Card
Expenses are tracked this way.

Recently in order to get Stock Transactions to import properly I had to use
CSV format to import transactions, and in order not to have to import both
QIF and CSV files, I decided to change receipts and Card Statements to CSV
also.

The problem I have now is that when I import any transaction using CSV it
always is set to "Reconciled" on import.
I tried to set the "Reconciled" field in the CSV Importer dialog, but it
seems it is ignoring the reconsoiled information on import.
Quote from GnuCash documentation: "Note that "reconciled" in this context
does not mean the same as "reconciled" in the process of reconciling an
account to an external statement. The reconciliation status of an imported
transaction is set to cleared (c) on import of a new transaction "

So the question is, without completely changing my process, is there a way
to force csv imports to show up as Not-Reconciled after import?
Some other way of achieving the definition of each receipts expense
category separate to the import process and an easy way of ensuring all
transactions on the statement has a receipt or similar confirmation of
correctness.

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice.

Kind regards Ove.

Re: [GNC] CSV import of Credit Card Transaction Data

2020-10-19 Thread David Cousens
Paul,

The headings should include a columns for  Deposit  and Withdrawal. If you
have a single column of signed data one of these should work. You may have
to experiment to get the right header for your bank's data. From memory I
used the Deposit header on a bank account CSV import. 

The importer has different headers to cope with banks proclivity not to
stick with any particular standard way of presenting CSV data. Some have
separate columns for deposits and Withdrawals, some use a single unsigned
column with another column which has Debit/Credit entries. GnuCash has to be
able to cope with all of these variations.

[GNC] CSV import of Credit Card Transaction Data

2020-10-19 Thread Paul Konnersman
MacOS Version Catalina 10.15.7 (19H2) and   GnuCash Version: 4.2 Build ID:
4.2+(2020-09-26)


I’m attempting to import a CSV Credit Card transaction file. In the import
Preview window I have the following fields mapped to the import data:
“Date,” Num,” “Description,” “Memo,” but there seems to be *no appropriate
mapping for the fields that I might call “Debit/Credit,” and “Amount.”*


I don’t see a need for Debit/Credit since that can be handled with the
minus sign on amount. But certainly, I need “Amount.” But I can’t find any
reference to it in the docs. What have I missed?

Re: [GNC] CSV import of fund transactions

2020-04-18 Thread Alaeddin Aydiner via gnucash-user

Hi Geert,

You are right. The solution involves just adding a "Transaction 
Commodity" column and entering USD (in my case) for both lines. I feel 
this is a documentation issue, which this email thread is already 
fixing; so I will personally not bother to file a ticket on this.


Date,Description,Transaction Commodity,Account,Deposit,Price

04/5/2020,Fund Dividend REINVESTMENT @ 31.5244,USD,Brokerage 
Account:Mutual Fund:Fund,0.03902,31.522296258329064


,,USD,Income:Dividend Income,-1.23,1.0

Thanks & regards,

Alaeddin.

The problem is likely your csv file doesn't provide a transaction

transaction currency. That would not work correctly in your case as 
the first line is actually in the foreign currency (with exchange rate).


I haven't tested yet, but you could try two things:

- Either add a column that sets the transaction currency

- Or swap the split data such that the split in the native currency is 
the first in the transaction.


I vaguely remember this issue was mentioned in the past, but I don't

Re: [GNC] CSV import of fund transactions

2020-04-10 Thread Alaeddin Aydiner via gnucash-user
I just compiled 3.9 from its sources as you suggested. The GUI's about 
window confirms that:


Version: 3.9 Build ID: 3.9+(2020-03-28) Finance::Quote: 1.47

But I am afraid the bug is still not fixed. With the 3-lines of CSV 
below, the fund is still priced as $1 and its price on the order of $31 
is ignored. Everything else is properly handled in the multi-split import.


Regards,

Alaeddin.

[GNC] CSV import of fund transactions

2020-04-08 Thread Alaeddin Aydiner via gnucash-user

Hello,

I could not get the price of a mutual fund imported to GnuCash 3.6 and 
3.7 through a CSV. Everything else seems to get imported just fine. Has 
anyone managed to achieve this?


The CSV looks like the following for a mini dividend reinvestment:

Date,Description,Account,Deposit,Price
04/5/2020,Fund Divident REINVESTMENT @ 31.5244,Brokerage Account:Mutual 
Fund:Fund,0.03902,31.522296258329064

,,Income:Dividend Income,-1.23,1.0

When this is imported, the split transaction is imported correctly but 
the price of the fund is not. I tried the fractional form of the price 
as well. I can put it in any required format as the CSV is generated by 
a script already. BTW, if there is a GnuCash python example, I'd be fine 
with that too.


Thanks in advance!

Re: [GNC] CSV Import error.

2019-06-16 Thread David Cousens
Anand,

>From your description it is not very clear what steps you are taking in
setting up the import nad what is happening when you import the file. 

The importer has a variety of options. The multiline import capability in
particular may still have some issues. I started some detailed
testing/documenting earlier in the year but overseas travel interrupted my
efforts and I am yet to get back to it.

Where does your CSV file come from?  Is it an exported GnuCash file or a
file produced by your bank?

If it is the latter, then you are likely to be importing transactions into
one specific account.  What import settings did you choose before trying to
import the file?  Common problems can occur with the date format and it is
oftenbest to select this to match the date format in the input file.

Re: [GNC] CSV import lags and burns CPU; can't report bug

2019-04-19 Thread Geert Janssens
GnuCash 3 is using a different way to store import matcher heuristics 
internally. The first time the csv importer is run, any heuristics in the old 
format are converted to the newer format. Depending on how large this 
heuristics database is, this can take a considerable amount of time. And 
unfortunately there is no visual indication this process is running - an 
unfortunate omission. The dev that implemented the conversion probably didn't 
expect this to be an issue (and I wouldn't have either tbh).

So maybe this internal conversion is what you experienced. As it should only 
run once (if you let it complete) subsequent imports should be faster.

Regards,

Geert

Re: [GNC] CSV import lags and burns CPU; can't report bug

2019-04-12 Thread cicko
Mark, please report issues with CSV importer as you run into them. Either
here or in Bugzilla.
One thing that's hindering my CSV import efforts is exactly the length of
time it takes to complete. I'm not sure what exactly is taking the time -
I'm suspecting it's the search for duplicates - but it would be interesting
to pinpoint. In which case, I'd file a request to have the ability to skip
that part during import.
Normally, the CSV records I'm generating don't need to be checked against
the existing transactions as they are completely new and I'd like to have
control over that decision, taking the full responsibility for the
correctness of data. I'm not downloading any statements from 3rd parties.
>From the implementation standpoint, it should be as simple as adding a
checkbox on the import form, a bool parameter that is checked before the
duplicate match (or whatever else it is) operation. 
I'm generating CSV files from transactions recorded on my mobile phone and
would really appreciate if the import was as quick as possible.
Your findings may also contribute to ironing out any other quirks with the
new CSV importer.

GnuCash’s Bugzilla database moved to bugs.gnucash.com several moons ago.

I can’t find any similar shortcut for bug filing on MacOS, so this is probably 
for the Windows version only. (I don’t ever recall seeing it with Linux 
versions either)

You should file a bug on that as well, since it needs to point to the correct

Hi.  I'm trying to import transactions from a very simple CSV file, using a

1-line CSV test file takes about 10 or 15 seconds to get to the next page.
With 160 transactions, the program stops responding, though it is burning
>30% CPU.  I assume it will finish eventually, but this process seems to be
very inefficient.

I can't seem to report a bug anymore.  I just installed GnuCash 3.5.  When
I go to Start > GnuCash > Report a GnuCash Bug (Online), this takes me to
bugzilla.gnome.org.  It says that most projects have migrated to GitLab,
but for GnuCash I should NOT go to GitLab.  When I try to log into
bugzilla, it says "Sorry, entering a bug into the product GnuCash has been
disabled."  However, the GitLab site linked from the BugZilla page does not
seem to have a GnuCash project.  Where should we report bugs these days?

Thanks.

[GNC] CSV Import

2019-03-14 Thread Stephen M. Butler
For some reason my Citi Visa account has lost the ability to export file
in non-CSV formats.  So, running the CSV importer on the file that had
fields:

    Status, Date, Description, Debit, Credit, MemberName

I mapped Date --> Date,  Description --> Description, Debit -->
Deposit,  Credit --> Withdrawl

Noticed that there were three rows with amounts in the Credit column and
all said values where negative!

Ran the importer and saw that those three rows were treated as charges. 
What should I have done?  Especially since Citi put negative values in
the Credit column.

Could I map both columns as Deposit?  Counter-intuitive but so is Citi
Cards right now!
