Re: [GNC] Inability to import CSV files.
What version of GnuCash are you using?

Re: [GNC] Australian Foreign Investments Taxation
Hello Gnucash Users, I have now downloaded the foreign exchange rates from the Reserve Bank of Australia: https://rba.gov.au/statistics/historical-data.html#exchange-rates Note that the exchange rate data is published in an Excel .xls file. I used LibreOffice to save it as a .csv for import into GnuCash. In this file, the dates are formatted as DD-Mon-. For example: 18-May-2019 GnuCash cannot understand dates formatted this way. (I tested against git 3.9-19 on branch maint.) I made some modifications to gnucash/libgnucash/engine/gnc-datetime.cpp that allow GnuCash to import the RBA data with word date months. The changes are very rough, and do not include any internationalisation. I would appreciate constructive feedback. Flames -> /dev/null. I note here that I have not tested this patch with dates of format DD-MM-. Perhaps I should sign up to the gnucash-devel mailing list... Ben.
