OK. Here’s the thing, I looked at the same information that you had, and I provided some explanations for your questions based on that information, so obviously something clicked for me that didn’t for you. It would be a help if you could try to figure out how the wiki could be better written so

Re: [GNC] Omission from help manual: formulas

David & Stan, From my experimentation, I think your descriptions are correct. Exponents aren’t supported. (yet) All formulas must be simple, but nesting/precedence parenthesis are allowed. While you can’t calculate using other splits or transactions as references/variables, you *can* use varia

Re: [GNC] Another sort field like 'Class' in Quicken?

Not quite the case on the last point. It does propagate from a single entry of a transaction. With the option checked, you enter the numbers in the Action field of *each* split and you can do this all in one entry from one register. (the option locks the actual NUM field against editing) But w

Re: [GNC] Another sort field like 'Class' in Quicken?

David, I have played with the setting back and forth. I’ve done so with both the XML and sqlite3 backend. (both cases using 3.2 on MacOS) I haven’t experienced any issues. I think the caveat on changing the setting has to do with importing transactions. That was the context of the explanation

Re: [GNC] Another sort field like 'Class' in Quicken?

Wow, I did not get that out of what I read at all. It'd be very useful for people I think if you updated the documentation to say that. So would a good summary be that if the box is unchecked, if you fill in the number field in a transaction, it automagically propagates to the other corresponding

Hello, In fact, the error is quite clear: something in the QIF file is not as the importer expects. As another David has noted, the QIF importer itself is functional, and has worked for many users before you. Unfortunately, in this case, that erro message is not particularly helpful, as your QI

Re: [GNC] Error importing quicken 2017 qif / qfx

I think it’s a little premature to refer to this bug. It’s not clear that the OP has determined that the content of their QIF file is properly structured and being properly interpreted by the GnuCash importer—and that is a more profitable avenue for them to explore at this time. The bug to whi

Thank you for the reply, Frank, but I read that before I posted. That's quite inadequate to tell people how to create formulas. The first three omissions that occur to me are: how do we use the value of one split in computing the value for a different split? How do we use values from a specif
