The process works but the Price Import Assistant Summary description and poor user interface labels are confusing. I use csv import all the time but this is so bad I can't understand it.
[the minimum columns] are Date, Amount, From Namespace, From Symbol and Currency To. If all entries are for the same Commodity / Currency then you can select them and then the columns will be Date and Amount... Examples are "FTSE","RR.L","21/11/2016",5.345,"GBP” and CURRENCY:USD;2016-11-21;1.56;GBP Isn't FTSE an index and what is the .L ? So currency can be prefixed with CURRENCY: ? I don't understand the data (except date and amount) which means I can't understand the column format example. It would be a lot clearer if the columns were in the same order as the description, and even better with a header line, so the data didn't have to be understood to understand the columns. I still have no idea what the file would look like when all entries are the same commodity... Surely this process should support the default currency like elsewhere in GnuCash and the column names are absurd. Thanks Ken. That link had a nice clear example but it will not work now without the From Namespace (coder jargon for Stock Exchange). I just tested with the following CSV: AAPL,23/8/2018,USD,255.37 ABF.L,23/8/2018,GBP,25 _______________________________________________ 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.
