Yes, thank you, that worked in that I now have a page with headings and my
accounts in total numbers. For example, the first one is Assets, next
Dehumidifier, then equity, expenses etc and all except Dehumidifier have
totals, but I still can not get into add new inputs.

Ah, it said it was read only a page or so ago. I keep fiddling with it,
hoping to get back to my accounts, but I seem to be making it worse. If I
can get the read only thing back I’ll take a screenshot. Sorry. I’m getting
a bit lost here.

Re: [GNC] Check for negative amount in scheduled transaction formula

Thanks for this Derek. I'm on a Mac and only see one copy of fin.scm in the

Should I be defining another one somewhere under ~/Library/Application

Look at fin.scm and copy the functions in there.

Re: [GNC] Importing QIF results into duplicate entry

2019-01-22 Thread Chitresh Bhushan
Hi David,

Thanks for your suggestion! I exported each of my account into a separate
QIF file and then started importing them one by one. That worked well,
although bit tedious. I had to go through duplicate detection, but that was
reasonably okay as gnucash had already made a very good guess.

Thanks

What kind of account (i.e. asset, expense, etc.) is it and what’s an example of 
a transaction involving it?

I don’t track cash either and use an “expenses:cash” account to balance cash 
withdrawals. Is it something like that?

[GNC] New Budget Data Date Range

Hi all,

My new budget "Budget Report" is pulling transactions that go back 4 years.
Is there a setting that is wrong? It should be for 2019 only.

[GNC] New Budget Help

2019-01-22 Thread Lorrie Laskey
Hi all,

I am trying to set up a budget following a YouTube video. See the link
below.

I created a budget, added my salary category and put the same dollar amount
into my checking account category, as instructed, to zero out the budget
total at the bottom of the budget sheet.

Next is where I am having problems, according to the video, once I enter a
few expenses, the "Transfers" category at the bottom of the budget sheet
should begin to decrease.

However, mine is not changing, though the expenses category total is
increasing.

Right about minute 6:46 is where this happens in this video. What is wrong?

[GNC] Cash Account Question

2019-01-22 Thread Lorrie Laskey
Looking over my accounts, I see a Cash account with what looks like every
cash transaction I have ever made going back 4 years. Since I don't track
my cash, it is a negative balance and is skewing the balance of my overall
accounts.

Do I need to track this and if not, how do I delete it without deleting the
individual transitions from their original accounts?

Re: [GNC] Fwd: [gnucash-de] Reversed banlanced accounts setting does not work in reports

2019-01-22 Thread D via gnucash-user
Raimund,


I saw the same issues recently.

The changes you see are purposeful. In order to make the totals add up, the 
person changed the way that the transaction report handles this setting. As I 
am not a programmer, I am not able to delve in to try and find a fix for it.I

The thread from the last couple of weeks goes into more detail.

in reports
Datum: Sat, 19 Jan 2019 23:02:47 +
Von: Raimund Strehl 
An: gnucash...@gnucash.org 

GnuCash 3.2 on Windows 10:



Reports such as Transaction report do not respect the "reverse balanced
accounts" setting on subtotals for income accounts.



Individual transactions will show be shown reversed, but not account
subtotals



e.g.



GnuCash 2.6.21 "reverse balanced accounts" to reverse sign on income
accounts



Income account X:

Transaction A 200 EUR

Transaction B 300 EUR

Total 500 EUR



GnuCash 3.2 "reverse balanced accounts" to reverse sign on income accounts



Income account X:

Transaction A 200 EUR

Transaction B 300 EUR

Total -500 EUR





I assume it is a bug in the reporting function.

This bug seems to have appeared between version 2.6.21 and 3.2

Does anyone know the reason for this or a fix for this?



Thanks for any hints

Ray

[GNC] Accounting period setup

2019-01-22 Thread elvis

Hi,

I'm just wondering, do people whos financial year runs from July to 
June, do they change the absolute start date of the year every year for 
reports?



All the relative dates refer to normal years, is these a way to redefine 
a normal year's start and end dates? So they aren't tied to a year 
beginning 1st Jan.

Did it say Read-Only when you when through File->Open?
When does it say it is read-only?

Re: [GNC] Lost all my transactions on Gnu cash

2019-01-22 Thread Derek Atkins
If that's a blank page then that means you have no data open.  Did you try
using File -> New File?  That might have done it.

Let's start over -- Go to File -> Open and then get to the folder where
your data file is located and open it.  What happens then?

Re: [GNC] Lost all my transactions on Gnu cash

2019-01-22 Thread Derek Atkins
Was it just one account register that was readonly??  Or was it when you
opened the file?

What do you mean by "get back to my accounts"?  Are you missing the Chart
of Accounts Page?  If so, use View -> New Accounts Page

Re: [GNC] Lost all my transactions on Gnu cash

2019-01-22 Thread Derek Atkins
Hi,

So if that didn't work -- how is it telling you that it is read-only?
Could you supply a screen shot?
Maybe a step-by-step of what you do and what happens?

I'm at a loss for what else would cause a read-only situation here except,
perhaps, you opening a placeholder account.

Thanks,

[GNC] Fwd: [gnucash-de] Reversed banlanced accounts setting does not work in reports

Hi Raimund,

 Weitergeleitete Nachricht 
Betreff: [gnucash-de] Reversed banlanced accounts setting does not work
in reports
Datum: Sat, 19 Jan 2019 23:02:47 +
Von: Raimund Strehl 
An: gnucash...@gnucash.org 

GnuCash 3.2 on Windows 10:



Reports such as Transaction report do not respect the "reverse balanced
accounts" setting on subtotals for income accounts.



Individual transactions will show be shown reversed, but not account
subtotals



e.g.



GnuCash 2.6.21 "reverse balanced accounts" to reverse sign on income
accounts



Income account X:

Transaction A 200 EUR

Transaction B 300 EUR

Total 500 EUR



GnuCash 3.2 "reverse balanced accounts" to reverse sign on income accounts



Income account X:

Transaction A 200 EUR

Transaction B 300 EUR

Total -500 EUR





I assume it is a bug in the reporting function.

This bug seems to have appeared between version 2.6.21 and 3.2

Does anyone know the reason for this or a fix for this?



Thanks for any hints

Ray

Then I promptly hit the Send button without pasting the link for the
debian files.  Must be too early in the morning!

Thanks Colin.  No worries -- I've busy on other things also.

Looks like the dependency list from the mainline is missing a few
entries.  I'll check that out.

Also, here are the files for the debian folder used in the build.  Any
suggestions or corrections would be appreciated.  Wondering if there is
a way to package this all together instead of having three .deb files?

Re: [GNC] How do I access the forum without using Nabble

2019-01-22 Thread David Cousens
Mike,

There should also be no problem accessing the list from Nabble either. Creating 
a post from Nabble also 
creates an email to the mail-list. The confusion is perhaps that you need to be 
registered separately for the mailing
list and for Nabble. I use the same credentials to do both and am then able to 
post be email or using Nabble without any
problem. The only restriction with Nabble seems to be that mail list users 
sometimes cannot see previous posts in a
thread. In my case it is becausee I clear my emails from the list out to an 
archive almost daily to avoid clogging up my
inbox and missing other email.

Sorry for delay, been otherwise engaged.
On a live Ubuntu 18.10 session running off the install image I started
by attempting to install gnucash_3.4_amd64.deb

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg -i Downloads/gnucash_3.4_amd64.deb
Selecting previously unselected package gnucash.
(Reading database ... 149974 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../gnucash_3.4_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking gnucash (1:3.4) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of gnucash:
 gnucash depends on gnucash-common (= 1:3.4); however:
  Package gnucash-common is not installed.
 gnucash depends on libaqbanking35-plugins; however:
  Package libaqbanking35-plugins is not installed.
 gnucash depends on guile-2.2 | guile-2.0; however:
  Package guile-2.2 is not installed.
  Package guile-2.0 is not installed.
 gnucash depends on libfinance-quote-perl; however:

dpkg: error processing package gnucash (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:

I then tried gnucash_3.4_amd64.deb

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg -i Downloads/gnucash-common_3.4_all.deb
