Re: [GNC] Importing from one gnucash file to another

2024-01-16 Thread John Ralls
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.

John Ralls

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.

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?


Best regards,
 —Jim DeLaHunt

[GNC] Importing from one gnucash file to another

2024-01-15 Thread James Wilde
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.

Regards

James Wilde
