Another good idea. I went back to the start and sorted by Description, but nothing out of the ordinary.  As we might expect the majority of entries are withdrawals, so the deposits are easier to see. Also, sorted by description sorts out if you put down the credit card payments or the pub

Adrien, I agree that the reconciliation date is assigned to each transaction split as it is reconciled. In Gmail I am unable to see where you found that conflicting information in this thread, as I am sure that I made no suggestion otherwise. On Wed, Nov 15, 2023, 2:55 PM Adrien Monteleone <

My bank just this morning went through another iteration of fine tuning their procedures, which I have yet to process. However, I hope they still have monthly statements, whether mailed or only online to reconcile against. They may be identified only by account number and month, but so far they

I don't get statements with numbers to use - my checkbooks are reconciled monthly to whatever the current online balance is, so what GnuCash does now is just what I need. On Wed, Nov 15, 2023 at 8:27 AM Christopher Lam wrote: > A bit tangential to the issue of reconciliation is that

A bit tangential to the issue of reconciliation is that fundamentally IMV reconciliation means to marry up (aka reconcile) the physical periodic (monthly/quarterly/annually) bank statements *against* your own books which carry the canonical data which hopefully supports your financial activity.

If you remember that the reconciliation endting balance was correct in GnuCash fairly recently a process that will actually work would be to unreconcile all transaction splits after a given date, then re-reconciling each month after that date with your bank statements handy. To go back more than
