This is in code that I added in V1.59 so it's probably my fault, but I can't see how it could happen. It would imply that yahoo web returned a page with a price history table in it but there was no first price history table in the page. I.e., it had a table, but then it didn't have a first

By "manually enter" I mean to trigger the entry into the register of the next scheduled instance of a single scheduled transaction [SX] without invoking the Since Last Run druid. I would expect that to be an action available in the SX editor. Since one SX may contain more than one separate

I'll look into these options. I just have it in my head that the point of a scheduled transaction is to save me from having to remember to create a transaction, and if I have to remember to run the SLR in order to have them created, then I've just changed the work, not reduced it. But thanks

I am pretty sure I tried that, but it didn't actually do the calculation in the SX window. Which makes sense, I think, because that window allows formulas that get processed at runtime. ⁣David T.​ On Jan 11, 2024, 8:46 PM, at 8:46 PM, Adrien Monteleone wrote: >You don't have to do it in

You don't have to do it in your head. While an extra step compared to normal registers, you can still do math on a split. When entering that balancing split, enter the amount as a sum formula. (split one amount + split two amount, etc.) GnuCash will give you the overall sum. Regards,

I would guess that the code for calculating the balancing amount as the sum of the other splits is part of the code that forces the transaction to be balanced before committing. Since SXs don't have this rule, that code to sum the other splits never gets executed. Regards, Adrien On
