Re: [GNC] QIF Import Fails

I’d say you got which file was which mixed up. You may have inadvertently opened the older file and kept working in it. That would now be your current file. If it is missing transactions the other contains (and vice versa) then you’ll have to pick one of them that has the least missing data

Conversely, if I move the current .gnucash to another machine that only has this file (and gnucash app) and open it, I don't see any recent transactions (only transactions from several years ago when I last used this test machine). Does the .gnucash file not contain everything? Put another way,

Simply re-run the reconciliation and include that transaction. But if you completed the reconcilliation without it, likely you had to make a correcting entry to work out the balance. You should either delete or adjust that correcting entry. If you didn’t have to make a correcting entry

Regarding. The interest deposits, I think that Quicken could have assigned an "Interest" category to allow you to differentiate from other deposits, but the fact that it didn't require such is why it sometimes is a challenge to import data from Quicken. David Carlson On Fri, Apr 5, 2019, 2:57 AM
