CSV imports are less likely to catch all duplicates, especially if there is little or no history of training. Hopefully, though, amount and payee will match closely enough to usually offer matches in the comparison step of the import. In 2021 Discover card offered QFX exports which include a

Carl If you had previously imported the September transactions, then the Import Matcher should recognize all of them as duplicates and not import them. In this case the A checkbox and U+C checkbox should both be unchecked and the 'C' checkbox set to indicate that the transactions match existing

That looks like a proper cap gains transaction. It's odd that the share balance differs by 250 between the two screenshots: Is there some other transaction that might be affecting things? The next thought is that there might be a non-AUD transaction currency involved. If you open the

Good thought - but the problem still occurs even if the share count and price are non-0. (The example transaction I've described is a simple reduction in the cost base of the asset without changing the number of shares held. But I think that is not directly relevant to the problem and probably the

Perhaps I'm missing something, but if there is a transaction that has a cost of 5000, and you have shares with a price of 0, that may be causing it to think there is an imbalance, and thus the transactions get added? On Wed, Oct 5, 2022 at 7:09 AM Chris Grinton wrote: > Hi GnuCashers, > > I
