Hi Finbar.
I've been following this thread, but got lost in it. Starting again seems
like a good idea. More comments in line...

OK, let's go again.
1. I started using GNUCash with effect from 1.1.2018
2. For this particular a/c the figure €3986.22 is the balance in the
a/c, taken from the bank statement on 28.12.2017, after the last
transaction on that date.
3. I had a non-zero opening balance, in the sense that I
There is also the issue that at one point he seemed to suggest this
was the first reconcile, then he said he didn't do any reconciles till
December. The only way we will understand what is going on is if he
is clearer on exactly what he has done.

David,
I understand perfectly what you are saying. My point was I read the post to be
a confusion in terms. I understood the OP to mean ‘opening balance’ to mean the
opening balance transaction in the account, *not* the ’starting balance’ of the
reconciliation. In fact, Gnucash uses the term

I could be wrong, but I read “opening balance” to mean the balance when the
account was created in GnuCash, not the “starting balance” for the
reconciliation. Certainly, when you first create an account, you have to tell
GnuCash how much is already in the account if it pre-existed.
It could be
There is a lot to unpack here.
You say you started at the beginning of 2018 and entered "the closing balance
for 2017."
Was that balance taken from a statement? Or just from the bank website as of
that date?
I can't see how any of the various numbers (the numbers on the screen grab or

OK,
As I said, I started on 1.1.2018 with 'nothing' I entered the closing
balance for 2017 for the a/c and started entering transactions.
Unfortunately, coming from Quicken, I didn't do any reconciliations
until about December. But casually examining the entries from time to
time they

Actually you still haven't
No, as I said in the original post, I started on 1.1.2018 with GNU, so
the first entry in this a/c should be the opening balance for the a/c
from the bank statement, €3986.22. The ending balance is correct.

Curious. I frequently can’t see attachments, sometimes including my own (and so

I wonder now if this is a failing of Mail.app or my ISP.

I can see it in the original in gmail web i/f, but I am not sure how
it is included. My reply seems to have converted it to an attached
image.
Strange how the OP’s post doesn’t show the screenshot, but it is visible in
your reply...
Presuming the ending balance is from the statement, perhaps the OP is ticking
off transactions beyond those necessary to reconcile?

If your reconciliation is not balancing, it might be worth a quick scan to
ensure that any items that you know were reconciled previously are still
registered as "cleared".
Over the past year [v3.4, Win10], I've had several occasions where my

It is not immaterial in the sense that if it does not match that from
the bank
As noted in the Tutorial, the opening balance in a reconciliation is
immaterial. What matters is the ending balance. If they match, then you can
finish reconciliation.
The Tutorial explains some of the circumstances that might cause an opening
balance not to match.

I understand the logic of what you describe, but, I started using
GNUCash with effect from 1.1.2018.
The opening balance on the bank statement for one of the asset a/c was
€3,986.22 and the ending balance on 16.2.2018 was €5,117.09
Gnucash shows the ending balance as €5,117.02 but the
Sorry to break this to you after the fact, but GnuCash could have moved all
those transactions for you in a second or two.
In the future:
1. Create new account
2. Delete old account
3. When GnuCash asks you what to do with all those transactions, tell it the
new account to move them to.

The reconciliation procedure works fine for me on several bank accounts, my
credit card and paypal accounts in V2.6.19 and earlier, V3.1, V3.2, V3.3 and
V3.4 provided previous reconciliations of the account were correct and no
transactions have been accidentally unreconciled.
In the example you

I have done several tests today.
I have set number various fake accounts with type credit card.
I all cases the reconciliation does not work. In every case the opening

Hi,

having a problem.
I have moved on to a different account and the reconciliation totals are not

The account opening balance was negative. I cleared funds into the account
