Re: [GNC] Finance::quote YahooJSON
I was playing around with this a bit, unfortunately a large part of my investments are ETFs listed on Xetra in Germany, which is not available through the Google Finance services. The searching I did on it looked like this was a "Won't fix" issue. But it turns out that I am able to download CSV files with historical data from my broker, so I am back in business. The files have basically the full history of single instruments, so I can just download when I get to it, and it will fill all the holes. Only challenge is that it seems GnuCash will not accept the files directly as they are tab-separated, but I can convert them to semi-colon separated files through LibreOffice Calc, and then it works. /Jacob On 2024-04-11 17:16, sunfish62--- via gnucash-user wrote: In the past, I have used a Google sheet that captured all my stock prices in one fell swoop, using Google's financial functions and a pasted copy of the Advanced Portfolio report.

Re: [GNC] gnucash-user Digest, Vol 253, Issue 33
Thanks for the offer Graham I'm getting more and more inclined towards the X11 track. I will need to do a little experimenting with having X11 and CLI on the same VM to see if they "Play nicely" together or if I'll need to run up a separate VM just for the X11 processes. For now I've been side tracked by running up a VM dedicated to MPD so I can (finally) move the radio station PC out of the house and reduce the load on my broadband, but I intend to come back to the GnuCash project in a few weeks. Just noticed on re-reading your email the word CONTAINER. Does GnuCash need to run under Docker or was that simply your choice to do so.

Re: [GNC] FYI Web tables, CSV, prices info and inquiry
I've just done something like that and the only trouble I had was getting the date to parse. Save the excel file as .CSV . Credit goes to Geoff. From the file menu, select import then price import and it starts the wizard. I ended up having to use the ISO format, but I'm going to try again after 4 central and see if I can't get it to work. One of my lines in the spreadsheet looks like this (details munged to protect the guilty): NASDAQ,X,2024-04-11,123.45,USD Hope that helps.

[GNC] GNC will not properly import .csv file from PayPal
I'm trying to import a .csv file from PayPal into the latest stable version of GNC on Windoze 11 home and and/or Ubuntu 22.04 (snaphub version 5.6.1), and neither of them will properly.. Both refuse to import transactions properly when Notes and Memo are selected. I need both of them so I can properly "split" transactions between my wife's schedule C and personal expenses. I can only import one or the other, notes or memo, not both, AND I need both in the same transaction. And I have always been able to in all previous versions of GNC. Can anyone suggest a solution? I am up against the April 15th tax filing deadline, and I do not want to have to file an extension for both my wife and and our dependent sons separate return, so that I can manually edit every transaction manually from the .csv file to place everything in the right account. Our health insurance depends on it as does whether he gets the grants to continue his college education. They want more per semester now than I ever have made yearly in my life. I never expected college tuition to exceed the income level of three working family members plus a Pell grant and scholarships. His 529 account is not even adequate.
