John, I thought the same thing on price, but if you look closely, the “1” is cut off because the column is too small. The line total reflects that indeed, that split was at $10. Regards, Adrien > On Apr 19, 2019, at 9:55 PM, John Ralls wrote: > > > > Alen, > > Sorry, I missed the imgur

Ron, Welcome to GnuCash! Edit your report options to include the accounts you want. There is an ‘Accounts’ tab where you make the selection. Be mindful of the account depth setting as well. Note, of course, the accounts in question have to have transactions during the same period as the

The first error was because you were not in the same directory as the .deb files. You could still run the command in that case, but then you’d have to specify the exact location of each .deb. It is much easier to just be in the same directory. I’m not sure why those files had architecture

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

I’d suspect, more likely than not, if I were running a business that needed such accounting, I too would close the books each year. It would be nice if GC handled Equity accounts without having to do so, but as-is, the software is certainly usable for a more formal business case. Regards,

Alen, Yes, I saw that. IIUC the transaction that you're creating is between IPE and AUD. That will cause trading account splits as they operate between any differing commodity pair, not just between currencies. I presume that you're working on the transaction in split view. In that view
