[GNC] New price source

2021-04-24 Thread Christopher Lam
To casual and regular users: In addition to pricedb-nearest and pricedb-latest, there'll be a new price source 'pricedb-nearest-before' in 4.6 onwards; this will ignore prices *after* the report date. e.g. a user records weekly prices e.g. on 19-dec, 26-dec, 2-jan, 9-jan etc and runs the balance

I just did a gnc-fq-dump for one of my investments and the date reported within the data was 2021-04-23, which makes sense, since it's a mutual fund that had its price updated yesterday (Friday) evening. However, when I do a price update in GnuCash it takes that quote and assigns it a date for

Hi David, I suggest you use gnc-fq-dump to see if Finance Quote (FQ) is returning a date (and time?) for your mutual funds. If GnuCash does not get a date from FQ, then it defaults the date to today. In this case, I suggest the solution would be to have FQ yahoo_JSON modified to provide an

I do. I suspect most North America-based users of the business features write cheques (checks in the US).It’s just a matter of volume whether it’s worth printing them. (I find it much easier to avoid missing recording them if they are recorded and then printed). > On Apr 23, 2021, at

I did not make any modifications directly. I have no idea of the details of what is modified by the system updater but I tend to let the updates pile up for a few weeks, run the install and reboot (if there are low level updates). This update of gnucash was in fact an unexpected side effect of an

I'd imagine one could do something like this with a Perl script that uses another script, like the Yahoo JSON one, to get the price, then "adjusts" the date based upon the time of day, etc. You'd have to do a bit of searching to figure out how to add your own module to the quoting functions of

Hello again, forget my previous mail. I mixed up the release and the nightlies. The release got the 3.38 runtime, which was already in use almost a half year in the nightlies – without complains. There must be another reason. Did you by chance delete something in ~/.var/app or another place

It can get the prices for both stocks and mutual funds. The lookup is done by ticker symbol. GNUC's csv price importer requires a date to be present in the csv file so I'm not sure what you are asking in your second question. Below is a sample of a couple of lines from the csv file. It's has

Jack, Your scripts offer an opportunity to massage the data, if needed. Out of curiosity, can you import both stock prices and mutual fund prices? And can you keep the timestamps in your CSV files? On Fri, Apr 23, 2021 at 8:55 PM Jack Frillman wrote: > It may be doing what I'm doing and
