The issue may be with the CSV (which stands for COMMA separated values)... if the currency contains commas, it will confuse anything that thinks it is separated by commas. If you open the CSV in a spreadsheet, is it confused? Can you use something other than a comma to separate the values? Perhaps bring the file into a spreadsheet, fix any problems, and then export with a different separator? I don't know if GnuCash will work on content separated by something other than a comma. -- _________________________________ Richard Losey rlo...@gmail.com Micah 6:8 _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
