[GNC] multi-currency imports

Hi, I read in this list some time ago that multi-currency imports is a known issue in gnucash. I just wanted to know if this has been fixed. Also, is there a best recommended format for import. I mean is CSV, QIF, etc, whichever format, is better in handling imports in general and multi-currency

[GNC] Installing on Windows 10 (with Defender)

My brother-in-law in the US (I’m in Oz) tried on my recommendation to install Gnucash 4.1 from the gnucash.org site. The install was initially blocked by Defender, but he managed to overcome that. When he tried to run the program, the complaint was about missing .dll files

Re: [GNC] Matcher for qfx files

It at least uses the , which is matched via the outside-account-to-gnucash-account list. And imports of multiple TIAA contracts containing multiple instances of the same fund do work correctly if the links are set up correctly. I’m currently using gnucash 4.1, but I don’t recall problems with

To Dann F et al. -- In my opinion, the informal College Fund you describe is neither a liability nor a short-term asset, but rather is a long-term asset, in my opinion. I am not an expert about how personal financial accounting should be done, where that is different from business accounting.

Your changes are quite nice, but may be too obscure for general use! - Instead of how=7 you can use GNC-HOW-RND-ROUND (ie change C's _ to guile's -) but equally easy to use (/ num denom) directly. - Instead of "lastInList" you can use "last" directly v4.2 will add the _ shim, which would make it

Thanks David - yeah, negative share balances are possible. But it's seemingly not possible to track shares in a Liability account. On Sun, Aug 2, 2020 at 2:41 AM David Carlson wrote: > > I meant no requirement to have a positive share balance. You should be able > to have a negative share

[GNC] Matcher for qfx files

When importing a .qfx file does the matcher use the tags and ? The issue is that I download transactions from TIAA which are from multiple accounts but are in the same download. There are some mutual funds which are held in more than one account. I recently upgraded to gnucash 3.8. I started to

Hello Glad you managed to make your report work. The _ could not be used anymore because in guile-3.0 it is a reserved symbol. Many modern Linux distros had moved to guile-3.0 necessitating this change. This change is not limited to experimental reports; all custom reports using _ were similarly

[GNC] 4.1 on Mac - undocumented breaking change in customized reports

When 4.0 arrived I was intrigued by the experimental new-owner-report.scm. I had customized the regular owner-report.scm several releases ago, and forward-ported my changes to create a customized new-owner-report.scm that I had working fine with 4.0. I’ve just installed 4.1 and I saw errors

[GNC] non-currency liabilities

Hi, I'm trying to figure out the right way to represent a non-currency debt in gnucash. That is, I'd like to be able to record that I *owe* 20 shares of FooFund. I thought I'd just create a Mutual Fund Liability account, but apparently Mutual Funds and Liabilities are mutually exclusive. Is
