Re: [GNC] Stock quotes for BT.A
Try BT-A.L (a minus sign). it used to work in the old days via yahoo, I no longer hold that stock so don't have it in the Alphavantage checks. HTH, Maf.

[GNC] Stock quotes for BT.A
Does anyone know how to get price quotes for LSE:BT.A from Alphavantage? Or from any other source? Following other advice on this forum, I've successfully retrieved price quotes from Alphavantage for other LSE stocks by concatenating the LSE ticker code with ".L" and setting that as the value of Symbol in the Security Editor. For example, setting Symbol = "BP.L" successfully retrieves the price quote for BP. The ticker code for BT Group is BT.A, so I tried "BT.A.L", but that failed. I guess that breaks their syntax rules, so, guessing wildly, I've also tried "BT_A.L" and "BTA.L" and "BT.L", but all of these fail too. Any other suggestions would be welcome! ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

The process is slightly more complicated. In the absence of transfer account data, gnucash can only fall back to a bayesian matching algorithm based on the other data available (description, date, amounts,...) However if there is transfer account data in the csv, gnucash will use it and generate transactions based on it. It will still use bayesian matching to check if a similar transaction (to the exact transfer account) already exists or not, but that would be much more accurate if a transfer account is known. The caveat is that initially gnucash won't know how to map transfer account data to actual accounts in gnucash. This is also something you have to train gnucash with. However this is not done via a bayesian based training. Instead it's a direct mapping between a string in your csv data and and account in gnucash. This process currently has to happen manually and is a step in the csv importer you have to go through. This unfortunately makes initial imports cumbersome, as in those you have to do a lot of this mapping. As over time the mapped data gets bigger it will happen much less often to have to add a manual account map, speeding up imports the more you do them. Contrary to the bayesian training (where small batches of training material are better) the import file size doesn't matter at all for this account map creation. It's more important your preprocessing script is very consistent in its generation of transfer account names because then each transfer account has to be taught only once ever. Be it on a first huge import or on any future import that uses this account for the first time. I will add I believe there is room for improvement here. It would certainly help if gnucash could be made smarter at recognizing exact matches between transfer account names or codes in the csv data and actual gnucash accounts. While gnucash can never assume automatically that constitutes a proper match it could suggest it as an account match and leave it to the user to confirm. That could save a lot of clicks. But someone would have to implement this.
