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

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

When I did my import (over a decade ago, I believe), I had no problem with transfers. Since I was importing all in one pass, there were no duplicates created by transfers. I believe the duplication problem you describe specifically arises when you opt to import transaction data from

David T, Does the QIF importer detect duplicates created by transfers within the same import file? I seem to recall needing to separate accounts to different files to detect them. David C On Wed, Apr 4, 2018 at 9:00 AM, David T. wrote: > Alen, > > What you’ve done with

Alen, What you’ve done with the Benefits section is better, but I still feel that any mention of benefits of migration is misplaced here. Someone looking for ways to migrate from Quicken presumably has already come to this conclusion. * I have edited the tips portion further. I added a tip

Hi, David, You are right. I've removed the benefits section but kept the fact about open data standards. Apart from being a benefit (to me), it is also a consequence of migration that may or may not be important for users. > You mention multi-currency problems with QIF, saying that GnuCash

cicko, I also like what you’ve done. I will add some edits there. Personally, I think the “Benefits” section is pointless; this page is about the migration from Quicken—not why someone should use GnuCash. I would recommend deleting it altogether, but I defer to you, since you created it. You
