Just started using GNUCash and have a basic navigation question. I've

You might explore creating several 2 x 2 multi column reports with the
individual reports embedded--one for each of your entities, with each row
putting current and previous year in a column. Although the multi column
report can be picky and slow at times, it might meet your needs in

Note, you resize by dragging the right-hand border to the right - not the
left-hand border to the left. Then, since you will likely end up with a
horizontal scroll bar, ‘reset’ the description column as I described in my
previous reply.

I just tried to resize and it worked as expected.
Perhaps drag the right-hand header border for the description towards the left
and let it go. It will snap into place taking up the remaining space. This will

I am unable to widen the right column where the accounts are listed for
each transaction. Every time I try it just gets smaller and the full
descriptions of the accounts get shorter and shorter.
Anyone else having this issue?

Do you *need* to start a new file each year?
While GnuCash has a ‘close the books’ procedure, it is not necessary to use it
as that is a holdover from the days of pen and paper where physical limitations
of bound volumes required doing so for organization purposes. (maybe some minor

Jack,
There are many bugs open that long or longer. The developers are limited
with the amount of time that they can donate to this fine program, so wish
lists and minor annoyances tend to languish.
They would love help from more volunteers.

I'm trying to start a new file for the new year and don't see a simple way
to make the change either in the user's manual or the FAQs. Do I have to
create a new file or can I simply save entries after 1/1/2020 to a new
destination and rename it? If the answer is in the manual, just point me to

I forgot to mention, you didn’t say what OS you were on, but apparently it
isn’t Win10.
If it is Linux or Mac, (you might find a relevant version of Intuit software
for Mac) you might be able to run the Intuit version you need via Wine. Mileage
varies and there has been some success. Be sure
Michael’s answer is what you are looking for with regard to the individual
funds.
As for the QDF issue there are a few options:
A) Find someone who has Intuit software that would do a backup-restore and QIF
export for you.
B) Use a VM with trial software
On that option-B:
You can get trial
If in the Journal rather than a specific account register, the balance
will always be zero since each transaction is always balanced.

Hi.
Use Subaccounts for each fund.
When you reconcile, ensure you check the Include Subaccounts checkbox.

And, if all columns' widths are adjusted and not all columns are viewable,
there should be a scroll bar just below all columns that you can use to
shift the columns left and right.

I’m not sure what screen you are viewing but there should be a balance column
for every transaction in every account register.
However, you do not enter the balance.
GnuCash calculates it for you.
There probably is no need to start all over, but if you must, simply delete the
