[GNC] transaction entries

When I make transactions entries I enter 1) the date; 2) a reference number if applicable; 3) for the description column I enter a vendor or payee name such as Target or the payee's name; 4) the correct general ledger account number; 5) the debit or credit $ amount. There can be splits also. A

[GNC] Question about new 5 fundamental budget categories

In the changelog for 3.8, it says: [gnc-budget-view.c] totals - 5 fundamental types previous showed income/expense/transfers/totals budget totals, of uncertain meaning. now shows income/expense/asset/liability/equity budget totals. The 5 lines also become sensitive to the global sign-reverse

[GNC] Suggested source for LibOFX?

    I'm a new GNUCash user and would like to get OFXDirect working.  Wondering where most folks get LibOFX.  SourceForge seems the most "official" looking but want to feel more comfortable about the source of this library. Thanks ___ gnucash-user

Re: [GNC] Gnucash Reports - Comparative Income Statement

I can confirm that on 3.8, you can use the proper dates. I ran a test for those 2 years prior to my last comment and it worked as expected. As for YTD, you’d have to run 2 separate reports and then move to a spreadsheet. There is a comparison transaction report floating around the list from a

michael d novack Thanks for the reply. I agree with everything you said but I am not looking for presentation Financial Statements. I am looking to make quick year to year comparisons with the reporting facility in Gnucash. Having ten years of financial data, I would like to make quick

Re: [GNC] Setting up Gnucash for Household

I'm not an accountant by any means, so this might be bad advice. I will tell you how I handle my personal and business accounts in one Gnucash file.  I have the usual set of accounts, Equity, Assets, Cash, Income, Liabilities, and Opening Balance for my personal accounts.  These have the usual

[GNC] Budget Flow Report - no column titles, & nothing in the help file

I've worked on a one-year budget in GNUCash 2.6.19, and now have made a budget flow report with two columns, but it has no column titles, nor is there explanation of the columns in the help files - There is only the words 'Budget Flow', under standard reports overview, beneath 'Budget Reports'.

Re: [GNC] Corrupt security information

Yes, this did the trick!! Thanks for the great coaching, John! I guess the takeaway is that the origin of bug https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797512 could be a double entry in the trading account. I just found that I had other stocks

Re: [GNC] Corrupt security information

Bruno, First delete the test transactions and the gain/loss transactions. Then delete Trading:NASDAQ:INTC. Save. You can try moving Trading:NYSE:INTC to Trading:NASDAQ:INTC (use Edit Account and change the parent account to Trading:NASDAQ with the selector at the bottom). While you're in the

Re: [GNC] Corrupt security information

Hi John, Yes, a great feature if it worked fully, but.. (one of its flawed features is that one does not have control over when it generated Realized Gain/Loss entries.) Sorry to confuse you. The number of transactions does not tie: I have 5 trades, which are reflected in trading/NYSE/INTC,

Good news; future releases where "Running Balance" is enabled, and the sorting/grouping options include account, *will* now print the balance brought forward. Zero-amount transaction hack isn't needed anymore. On Mon, 6 Jan 2020 at 05:01, Christopher Lam wrote: > Wouldn't seem right to offer

Re: [GNC] Gnucash Reports - Comparative Income Statement

Even simpler - I forgot about the new (experimental) multi-column Income Statement in v3.8. That will get your two periods lined up neatly. Then you just need to move that to a spreadsheet and add your variance column & formulas. Filing an RFE to add the variance column to the report would get

Re: [GNC] Gnucash Reports - Comparative Income Statement

While it is a small amount of work, you can do this yourself. Run each period’s report. Save/open or copy/paste the resulting reports into a spreadsheet. Add percentage/variance columns as desired with formulas. To make your life easier, you should use the same set of accounts for each
