Re: Invoicing on GnuCash

[R. Victor Klassen]

But, one word of warning: think about how you name things, so they differ in 
the first few characters, not just the last few.

Re: version 2.7 Gnucash.exe – Entry Point Not Found

Ok, that feedback is disappointing to the developers, I am sure, but they
should see it.  Please use Reply All so they do see it.

Fwd: version 2.7 Gnucash.exe – Entry Point Not Found

[David Carlson]

-- Forwarded message --

Subject: Re: version 2.7 Gnucash.exe – Entry Point Not Found
To: Lloyd Martin 


Sorry, I failed to notice two things:

1.  Please use Reply All to be sure that a copy goes to the user maillist.

2.  Version 2.7 series is a beta series, currently in the fifth iteration.
It is not guaranteed to work, and it may not work at all in some
iterations.  Thus, the developers want as much feedback as possible from
those who dare to try it.  On the other hand, new users should stay with
release 2.6.19 for now.

Re: Account Report/Register Report

[David Carlson]

That is a clever trick.  You could create a separate report for each
security, but I suspect that could easily get out of hand.  Perhaps someone
else has a better suggestion, or perhaps the report could be re-configured
to allow selecting the source account.

Account Report/Register Report

[Robin Chattopadhyay]

Hi-

Using Linux Mint 18.3, Gnucash 2.6.19...

There's a report I like to use called Account Report. You can get to it
after opening a register. I use this report to see what gnc has as the cost
basis for an investment.

Because of the way my 401(k) provider calculates cost basis, I have found
that the only way to properly track realized gains/losses in gnc is to
manually make the entries myself. So I use this report and set the options
to Amount = SINGLE and tick the 'Value' option. The net Value Change neatly
reflects my cost basis (assuming there are no filters and all transactions
in the account are visible).

My question is: Can I go somewhere and change the defaults for this report
so that I don't have to select them every time? For any other report, I
would save the report to ~/.gnucash/saved-reports-2.4 and just select the
account I wanted to report on.

But this report doesn't have an option to select the account so my next
thought was to change the defaults.

Thanks,
Robin

Re: Reporting based on search criteria and exprting transactions to excel. It's simple!

[Wm via gnucash-user]

On 03/03/2018 03:27, Mike Stillingfleet wrote:


I have used GNUCash for a couple of years now.  in recent days I have come 
across a couple of features or tricks which have completely transformed the 
value of GNUCash to me. Yet neither of these features are in the help pages. Or 
if the are in the help pages I have consistently missed them in my efforts to 
find ways of reporting sensibly from GNUCASH.

The first is that I have gone through all sorts of hoops to report on 
transactions based on a particular search criteria.

I now find that this is simply achieved by doing a find from the edit menu. 
With the resultant search result tab open you can select the reports menu, 
account report and GNUCASH will create a report from those search results.

The second is that you can get your report into a spreadsheet very simply. 
Export the report as an html file. Open excel. Open the html file.


I usually just use copy and paste

Simpler, quicker, easier for most report type data


That's it. No converting pdf files to excel. No crazy export of transactions 
and importing CSV files etc etc.


I have to ask why is the combination of procedures not clearly spelt out in the 
help files. It has taken two years to discover this. I have posted several 
threads trying to achieve this. I think it has been possible all the time.

Now the information I have in GNUCash is suddenly an invaluable resource. I am 
no longer entering data in two or more places. I am no longer exporting 
transactions and manipulating them outside GNUCash.

A minor note to point out is that the values imported to excel initially appear 
as links through to the original transaction.  Copying the column and pasting 
as values takes seconds and then off you go. I think you could probably also 
set up a macro to do this step for you.



if you copy and paste as I suggest you avoid the problem.


I am astonished that this is so simply achieved.  There are hundreds of threads 
on this forum with people obviously trying to achieve this. So obviously users 
are not getting appropriate instructions from the help files.

It it would be great and save everyone thousands of hours if it were to be 
included in the help clearly and obviously.



The background problem is people expecting everything to be in exactly 
the format they want in one program.


There are ongoing arguments about this, try checking if gnc's budgets 
are are ideal for you (they won't be)

Fix for stock price fetch from ASX

[Chris Good]

The ASX has changed their m.asx.com.au web page on approx. Feb 11 2018 which
means the GnuCash source Australian Stock Exchange no longer works.

There is now a fix for this problem available, but it is not yet included in
the official Finance::Quote module available from CPAN.
If you'd like to manually install the fix now, it is available on github:
Enter
https://github.com/goodvibes2/finance-quote/blob/FqIss80ASX/lib/Finance/Quot
e/ASX.pm
in a browser, click on the Raw button which should open the contents of the
new ASX.pm file on a new page.
Use Control-A to highlight it all, then paste it into a text editor
(say Notepad for Windows, gedit for Linux), then
'Save As' over the top of the existing ASX.pm:

Windows (Strawberry Perl):
  C:\strawberry\perl\site\lib\Finance\Quote\ASX.pm

Linux
  /usr/local/share/perl/5.22.1/Finance/Quote/ASX.pm

Sorry, I don't have a Mac so I cannot provide instructions, but I guess you
just find ASX.pm and replace it with the new version from the above github
link.

The fix goes back to using www.asx.com.au/asx/markets/priceLookup.do which
now works again.
Unfortunately the following fields are no longer available (not needed for
GnuCash anyway):
date, name, div_yield, eps, pe + year_range.
There is a date available but it is always today, so this script does not
return it. GnuCash gnc-fq-helper will default it to today.

Regards, Chris Good

It can be normal depending on how often you save (or autosave is enabled) and 
how long you have configured to retain backup files.

Each file with the numbers and ending in .gnucash is a backup file. The 
numbers represent the date and time the file backup was created. The files 
just ending in numbers are log files and normally have the .log extension. If 
you don't see it I presume you are one Windows and have it configured not to 
list known extensions.

As Colin suggests, if you can't open your normal file, try to open one of the 
backup files, from newest to oldest first. Once you get one to open, use save 
as to rename it (removing the timestamp from the name).

>From that last known good backup you will have to redo your data entry until 
where your PC crashed.

Good luck!

Re: Gnucash Error "No Suitable backend was found for file..."

[David Carlson]

I cannot help with the failure to open files but it might help to know what
OS you are running GnuCash under.  As for the 800 extra files, that depends
to some extent on how often you make backups of your data in some remote
location.  That will help you decide how to set the length of time to keep
those interim backups until you make a real backup.  You can probably set
that time to 2 weeks or so, if you are comfortable with that.

Re: Gnucash Error "No Suitable backend was found for file..."

[Osama Younis]

No, the .gnucash file is not opeining ok, I got the error when I try to open it.

I am not saving the .gnucash file in the same directory as the .gcm files, but 
still I can't manage to open the data file in order to run the "Save As...".

Is it normal to have about 800 files of the type 
"accountname.gnucash.20180304110506" and 
"accountname.gnucash.20180304110505.gnucash" located in the same folder of the 
file "accountname.gnucash"?

Regards,
Osama.

For your information: .gcm files are not backup files. They are only storing
visual state (which tabs were open, column widths, ...).

I do hope you are not saving your gnucash data files in the same directory as
the .gcm files ? If so, on the first occasion you manage to open a data file,
run a "Save As..." and store your data in a more common location, such as (a
subdirectory of) your Documents/My Documents/etc directory. I recommend a
subdirectory as gnucash creates its backup files right next to the data file.

Re: Transaction report ?? currency symbol

[Adrien Monteleone]

I see then my first guess was wrong. I’ve never played with Docker so I wasn’t 
aware you had to specify locales when creating the image.

Glad to see you got it worked out and thanks for posting the solution for 
posterity!

Adrien

For your information: .gcm files are not backup files. They are only storing 
visual state (which tabs were open, column widths, ...).

I do hope you are not saving your gnucash data files in the same directory as 
the .gcm files ? If so, on the first occasion you manage to open a data file, 
run a "Save As..." and store your data in a more common location, such as (a 
subdirectory of) your Documents/My Documents/etc directory. I recommend a 
subdirectory as gnucash creates its backup files right next to the data file.

Do any of the .gnucash accounts files open ok?  Your original file
will likely be called something.gnucash and the others should be the
same but with a date/time string and another .gnucash on the end.

Gnucash Error "No Suitable backend was found for file..."

[Osama Younis]

Dears,
Greetings.

I am getting the error message "No Suitable backend was found for file..." 
after my PC was shut off unexpectedly two days ago. Now I can't open my current 
accounts even though I see the backup files (.gcm and .gnucash files).

Can anyone help me recover my account data?

Thanks,
Osama.

There have been loads of fixes since 2.6.1.

Re: Transaction report ?? currency symbol

[r0bis]

Thanks Adrien,

I sorted this issue. It was the case that docker image had no specific
locale set so it was the fallback to POSIX/ASCII

Once I compiled the docker image with correct locale everything was fine:

FROM ubuntu
MAINTAINER "R"
ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND noninteractive
RUN apt-get update -q && apt-get install -y \ 
locales \
mysql-client \
gnucash \
gnucash-docs \
yelp \
dbus-x11 \
--no-install-recommends \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* \
&& rm -rf /src/*.deb

# LOCLES: uncomment chosen locale to enable it's generation
RUN sed -i 's/# en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8/en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8/' /etc/locale.gen  
# generate chosen locale
RUN locale-gen en_GB.UTF-8  
# set system-wide locale settings
ENV LANG en_GB.UTF-8  
ENV LANGUAGE en_GB  
ENV LC_ALL en_GB.UTF-8  
# verify modified configuration
RUN dpkg-reconfigure --frontend noninteractive locales  

RUN  groupadd gnucash \
&& useradd -g gnucash -G video gnucash -m

# run gnucash as non-privileged user
