I assume that you mean the debits do not equal the credits rather than that GnuCash failed to generate the report. This is commonly the result of selling a commodity for a different price than what was originally paid without correctly accounting for the profit or loss. One technique to close in

I have refrained from commenting on this because I do not run release 3.x, but now I will, in case it helps the developers to think of other issues that may be in play. I am running release 2.6.17 in Ubuntu 16.04 installed on a VirtualBox guest and either viewing it directly or using PuTTY with

Mark, I suggest trying your proposed fix on a test copy of your datafile. You may find that you also need to re-reconcile other months or "indulge" in some creative temporary offsetting transactions to get August or September reconciliations to end with the correct ending balance. I have not

Paul, Actually, during the CSV format you can scroll down the data that you are about to import to see if there are any lines that will prevent the import. Just scroll down the date column to see if there are any dates that do not match your selected date format. From experience I can tell you

Please identify the GnuCash version by the number that you see on the splash screen when the program starts and also mention which operating system you have. The various recent versions differ significantly under the hood, and the developers are concerned about which versions are working better or

Khristine Ann, Gnucash is able to track the value of nearly any arbitrary stock or mutual fund portfolio, including downloading prices from the Internet as often as you care to do that, up to once a day. That detail is probably more than you need. There is a very detailed section in the

D Some of that information is already available. I know that the F::Q version appears in the console if GnuCash is started from the command line. There are also instructions somewhere in the WIKI (I think) to run F::Q as a stand-alone. Perhaps the answer is to have better documentation (which

Re: Mass Import from MS Money User

2018-01-22 Thread David Carlson
Jon, You do not mention what file type you are using for your imports. If you are using QIF the importer will try to match incoming transactions to existing transactions with the limitation that it will not match to other transactions in the same import file. This is why it is better to import

There has been a long standing problem with reports that need to process a lot of records being slow to open for most every release in the 2.6 series in Windows, if I recall. However, if release 2.6.19 is now slow even with simple reports, that is a new issue. I think that the upcoming 3.0

Welcome to GnuCash! Since you have already found the qfx importer you are almost there. Each QIF file contains only transactions from one financial institution and probably only for one or two accounts. You simply follow the steps that appear after starting the importer. It will first ask you

With the current release of GnuCash (2.6.19) and earlier the CSV import assistant is very fussy, especially wrt date format. It does not remember settings either so you have to be very careful to get everything right for each file. The default date format is not the format used in the United
