Priit, When I migrated over, I did it the same way as you describe here-- that is, I imported the entire file in one pass. I went back to quicken numerous times to clean up the exported data, but eventually got an import that was clean enough.  I offer that simply as a counter story to that of

Hi Priit I hope the import was successful. The hard part is now going thyrough and checking and correcting the errors that have crept in. David Carlson's comment re the handling of duplicate transactions is in aprt why small batch imports are generally recommended and processing one account at a

The wiki that David Cousins pointed you to does not mention the fact that GnuCash can only find duplicates to transactions that already exist in the data. Thus to avoid duplicates it is best to import one account at a time and to use use the GnuCash transaction matching feature to identify

Hi David C! Thank You, I have read the Quicken migration page in Wiki and probably followed it mostly except for splitting the import into smaller pieces. The first try was importing all 18 years of data at once. It took some time but generally succeeded. I'll try to import just a few accounts to

Hi David! Well, I just made a full export from Quicken and then fed the big file to GnuCash. Everything was done automatically and I had no control of the sequence of import. Maybe I'll try the import by smaller chunks. Best Regards, Priit Kontakt D via gnucash-user () kirjutas kuupäeval L, 27.

Priit, I suspect you imported the transactions for Swedbank, and then imported ones from LHV, correct? When you do this, you must ensure that you take the time in the second import to ensure that the transaction from Swedbank to LHV is matched to the transaction from the first import. They

Hi, I get duplicate transactions sometimes too. I tend to download data from financial institutions and import it to GnuCash on a quarterly basis and catch things up. The matcher does a pretty good job of assigning accounts and so forth, but it's not perfect. I find I still have to survey its
