Nelson -- do you really need (want) 20 years of data? I recently transferred from Quicken to GnuCash because of the new goofy subscription model -- and I have about 11 years of data. Upon doing the import first with all the data -- it was too complicated to try and get it right -- since -- I had not categorized all the data in Quicken to begin with. After careful reflection and inspection of the source data in Quicken -- I was able to determine that I really did not need all the data and cut down to 6 years of data.
Then, once I imported, I was able to delete a couple more years and was able to get everything in sync and balanced. It took a few days -- but I think you can do it. Additionally, if you get "good" balances on most of the accounts, search the 'imbalance" account for those transactions that are not in balance. At the end of the process - it does work. Best of luck. -----Original Message----- From: gnucash-user [mailto:gnucash-user-bounces+pyz01=cox....@gnucash.org] On Behalf Of Nelson Sent: Sunday, October 15, 2017 1:50 PM To: gnucash-user@gnucash.org Subject: Re: command line QIF import Thank you for your answer David. I am aware that QIF is a text file and I can open it in text editor. I have a 235000 lines QIF file created by quicken. Most of the transactions are being imported properly but there are thousands failing as well. I have no way to identify those failed transactions other than going line by line in each account. What shall I "edit in quicken first" to insure a successful import? -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
