Re: [GNC] Importing csv transactions
In addition to the other suggestions, does your csv file contain a line with column titles ? If so, you may have to configure the importer to skip that line.

Re: [GNC] Importing csv transactions
Paul, Actually, during the CSV format you can scroll down the data that you are about to import to see if there are any lines that will prevent the import. Just scroll down the date column to see if there are any dates that do not match your selected date format. From experience I can tell you that it is very easy to make a mistake in this column, as, at least in the release 2.6.xx family of GnuCash releases, the default did not match common usage in the US.

Re: [GNC] Importing csv transactions
Probably some date (maybe three) in your CSV file is in the wrong format. Open your CSV file in an editor and check the format of the dates.

[GNC] Importing csv transactions
I'm new to Gnucash and trying to get set up. I successfully imported a couple of years worth of transactions into one account a few months ago when I was evaluating Gnucash. Now I'm trying to import more transactions into that same account without success. My process: 1) Menu Bar> File> Input> Import Transactions from CSV 2) Navigate to CSV file to be imported 3) Set Date format to y-m-d 4) Set currency format to "period" 5) Map columns in imported file to columns in Gnucash 1. Date -> Date 2. Num -> Num 3. Description -> Action 4. Account -> Transfer 5. Notes -> C 6. Deposit -> Debit Amount 7. None -> Credit Amount 8. None -> Balance 6) I get a notice repeated three times that reads, "Date Column could not be understood." Any suggestions will be appreciated. Paul -- *Paul M.
