Re: [GNC] FYI Web tables, CSV, prices info and inquiry

2024-04-13 Thread sunfish62--- via gnucash-user
David, 

My goal in the example was not pedagogical; it was to give others in the 
community information that they might use for themselves. I'm pretty sure that 
in the earlier thread, I gave all the information necessary (including actual 
cell formulae) for others to test it for themselves. If my instructions weren't 
sufficient, I apologize. Feel free to try them out and report the areas that 
are incomplete. 

Then again, yours is the only response I've ever gotten to the message. Who can 
tell whether that means my solution was: a) incompletely understood, b) not 
useful to anyone, or c) silently read, comprehended, and used by millions of 
grateful GnuCash users.

(I'm doubtful of the last, just to be clear)

There is some miscellaneous housekeeping and cleanup that needs to be

changes that I was planning for v1.60 but haven't done yet. Instead of 
v1.60, I may upload v1.59_01 tomorrow so people can at least fetch the 
fix for YahooJSON before v1.60 is uploaded and indexed by CPAN.

[GNC] how to find open invoices

2024-04-13 Thread tburmas

Hello,

    I often have invoices that are open (in progress) that are not 
ready to post.  Is there a way to see a list of these?  The only way I 
have found to do so is to remember ahead of time a customer has an open 
invoice and find it.  This is quite error prone.



Thank you,

Ted

Hi David
When you paste into Calc (I'll assume you are using Ctrl-v), you should get
an Import options screen pop up in which you can tick a box "Detect special

[GNC] importing or pasting reports into spreadsheets

2024-04-13 Thread David Carlson
I have found that I can select the text of reports directly in GnuCash,
then paste it into a Libre Office Calc spreadsheet.  The problem then is
that values are preceded with a dollar sign in the US and it seems that
they are not currency numbers but some form of text, as numeric operators
do not recognize them.  It also looks like dates are in some form of text
as they have a format code "@" whatever that means.

I am not very proficient with these format issues.  Does someone know of an
elementary reference that is easier to understand than the spreadsheet help
file?

Just in case it makes a difference I am using GnuCash release 4.8 in
Lubuntu 22.04 with a LXQT desktop.

Re: [GNC] FYI Web tables, CSV, prices info and inquiry

2024-04-13 Thread David G. Pickett via gnucash-user
 David T,
Nice, but I am told pedagogy suggests even the best explanations are best 
packaged with examples, like on a nice web page.  In fact, the Finance Quote 
process itself might be divided into three processes: a gnucash call to extract 
the symbols and sources as a CSV, a web scraper process to convert the input 
CSV to an output CSV, and a second gnucash call to accept that CSV and 
update/insert the prices database.  It might make testing simpler, too!

One wonders what the update versus insert policy is.  Buy and sell transactions 
create price info, often of low precision intraday pricing, as if you are 
buying a 4 digit precise $98.76 stock for a $1.23 dividend, the apparent price 
might be $99.19 for 0.0124 shares. If there are multiple entries for a symbol 
and date, one must win out when I do net worth line graph with table report 
using price nearest date to report?  (Also amazing: that is not the default!)

Re: [GNC] Finance::quote YahooJSON

2024-04-13 Thread jacob
I might be concluding wrong on this one. Libre Office Calc will accept 
them, and I just saved them again. But I think there might be more 
variables. It is detected as UTF16 by Libre Office Calc, so it might be 
a character set issue. Also, I do need to get my Gnucash upgraded, I am 
on 4.5 at the moment, so it might just be old. Would like to try out the 
Flatpak, but I can see that I need to do this the long way around.

Yes, you can:-

You only need 5 columns:-

(3) Date
(4) Price
(5) Currency

It's important to note that these APIs are likely not meant for direct access. 
Which is why the previous APIs that the YahooJSON.pm all became unusable at 
some point. This would be why you cannot find official documentation for the 
APIs online like you can for APIs like the AlphaVantage which limits what you 
can retrieve for free.

I've had less time to work on F::Q the last few months, so I'm not sure when 
I'll be able to either rework the module to use the v8 API or test and 
implement Kalpesh Patel's changes. Hopefully in the next week or so, but if 
someone else wants to step up and create a pull request at 
https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote that would be a great help.

It appears the format of page Cdnfundlibrary.pm uses to scrape the data from 
fundlibrary.com has had major changes. The Fundata.pm module
(idata.fundata.com) has also stopped working for the same reason. See Issue 
https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/issues/366 and discussion 
https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/discussions/364.

Unfortunately both modules are likely going to be disabled and then removed 
from Finance::Quote. The Fool.pm module has also recently stopped working and 
it will also be disabled in the next release of F::Q.

Re: [GNC] Import of CSV

2024-04-13 Thread Gyle McCollam
David,
I know cleared is not the same as reconciled.  The CSV did mark the items as 
"cleared".  However, what I was referring to was that there is no check box at 
the bottom to reconcile after import as there is with OFX/QFX.


Thank You,

Gyle

The CSV data is likely not marked as cleared as the CSV importer can be
used fro importing data from any source, including self generated while
the OFX data is more likely to originate form a bank download. Cleared
is not the same as reconciled. It was more relevant in the days when
cheques might take longer to be cleared through another bank and appear
in your banks statement after making a deposit for example.

Most transactions I make these days appear in my bank app within
seconds particularly on my credit card.

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.

If that works for your usecase, I can walk you through the details.

I don't use Docker for gnucash, I use a Proxmox lxc container. I do use 
Docker for other apps but have not tried it with gnucash


If you choose to run gnucash in a VM, and you install a full Gnome 
desktop in the VM, then you can access gnucash remotely with 
x-forwarding AND have the help and tutorial and concept guide fully 
operational. Being Scottish, I decided I didn't want to waste resources 
on another VM just for gnucash, so I went the lxc container route and 
accepted having help and tutorial separately in a browser.
