Re: [GNC] Importing from one gnucash file to another
It's part of CSV import. It has been there for a long time but didn't work very well until Geert rewrote the CSV importer for GnuCash 4. Use File>Export>Transactions to CSV to create a CSV file then File>Import>Import Transactions from CSV and click the Multi-Split box under File Format on the Import Preview page.

I've never used it myself, but I recall a discussion when the feature was added, I think for 4.x but it could have been earlier.

It appears as though I must in some way edit the exported file in order to import it Interesting. I imagine that some more specifics about what you are observing might help others on the list get you through the next step. You say, "when I go to the current year to import it does not seem to be a possibility." You have run GnuCash and opened the book file for the current year, the file which will receive the earlier file's data, correct? You are selecting the menu item, File -- Import -- Import Transactions from CSV, correct? Does the Transaction Import Assistant appear? Are you able to get past the first page of the Assistant? Does the "Select File for Import" page appear? In the "Select File for Import" page, are you able to locate the CSV file which has the earlier data? Is the name of that CSV file displayed as regular (black) text, or is it greyed-out text? If you click on the name of the CSV, and click the "Next" button? Does the "Import Preview" page appear? Do you encounter any problems on the "Import Preview" page? Are you able to click "Next"? Does the "Match Import and GnuCash accounts" page appear? (and so on…) I am using GnuCash in English. If you are using GnuCash in Swedish, and my English-language names do not translate easily to yours, I apologise for the confusion. Both the earlier year and the current year have the same account list. I am using Build ID: 4.12+(2022-09-24). Thank you for supplying those important facts. What computer OS are you using? Windows 11?

[GNC] Importing from one gnucash file to another
I am rationalising my accounting in Gnucash and have previously had one instance of Gnucash for each year. I now would like to load an eyara into the current year. I have exported the earlier year as a csv file (I have used semi-colons instead of commas) but when I go to the current year to import it does not seem to be a possibility. It appears as though I must in some way edit the exported file in order to import it. Both the earlier year and the current year have the same account list. I am using Build ID: 4.12+(2022-09-24). I'd appreciate a hint on what I might be missing.
