I think I would probably go for a SX with both sides zero (assuming it lets you do that without insisting on a conversion ... haven't tried) and edit it once I had the figures. Either that, or just duplicate an earlier txn and edit the result, instead of using SX. That way, you enter *one* amount and, when prompted for the conversion, enter the other amount. The program calculates the ratio for you. _______________________________________________ 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.
