Can we focus this back on improving the clarity of the Price Import Assistant? The first page is essentially the full documentation of the process.
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/5.4/gnucash/gtkbuilder/assistant-csv-price-import.glade#L55 uses the column labels: Date, Amount, From Namespace, From Symbol and Currency To, irrespective of the labels used elsewhere for this data. A csv file can use any column order, a header is optional, and the Import Assistant doesn't use the header names. Various options exist for specifying the delimiter as well as a fixed width option. Double quotes are not required as shown in other examples. I am confused by seemingly different labels being used within GnuCash for the same data and I highlighted Commodity, Security, Namespace and Symbol. How exactly is "CURRENCY" used in that example? Does it refer to the default for the security or user/file? It also seems From Symbol for https://www.vanguard.com.au/personal/invest-with-us/etf?portId=8205 could be VAS, VAS.ASX, or VAS.AX (ie custom Yahoo exchange code). I understand >From Namespace is any convenient label the user chooses for the group of Securities [??], not necessarily the Stock Exchange which could form part of the From Symbol. _______________________________________________ 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.
