Thanks Derek, I forgot about that part as well. Indeed, it tripped me up early on. Though in this case, if you are searching based on Memo, you should get all results, from multiple accounts, no? Regards, Adrien On 6/9/22 12:10 PM, Derek Atkins wrote: Another thing to consider is that the

Yeah, I wasn't thinking of this and I use it frequently. But if you have one split *with a value*, then you'll get an Orphan/Unbalanced split by default if you don't specify the second account. Regards, Adrien On 6/9/22 8:53 AM, Stan Brown wrote: On 2022-06-09 04:59, David Carlson wrote:

Another thing to consider is that the search is really searching on a SPLIT and not a TRANSACTION. If you're trying to search for something and using different accounts in your query, you could end up in an empty-set result because you cannot have a split where split->account == A **AND**

Hmmm... I just happened to need to do a Find and tried this out. I intentionally chose an account that I knew was definitely *not* involved in the transaction I was looking for. (or any other transactions that would match my criteria) Yet, the results were the same if I had this account

Split! Yes, but there is nothing to indicate that in the screen shot. It may be a data entry error as Fred seems to indicate in his new thread after this one did not solve his concern. On Thu, Jun 9, 2022, 10:15 AM john wrote: > No, it's called a stock split. Nothing new about it at all. > >

Fred, Technically, these are not price entries, which implies the PriceDB in GnuCash. They are transaction entries in a register. I am not sure whether Gyle's solution would work, since I'm not sure how you'd search for those entries; from your screenshot, it looks as if the entries have a

Is there an easy way to find all the zero price entries in the price history? I have several hundred stock and currency items, some with zero price entries. I am used to using Enter (instead of Tab) as a way to advance to the next field in a new transaction. Because of that, I believe that

It's possible to create a single split transaction. The only requirement is that the transaction must be balanced i.e. the total is zero. Therefore, create a zero-amount split and leave the "other account" field blank. If this is not the case, then you'll have found a quantum anomaly in the

Fred, If you go to the Accounts tab in the main window can you see either an Orphan or Imbalance account with a non-zero balance. The transaction creation process and the importer have never allowed you to create a transaction in GnuCash which is unbalanced. I just tested it and tried to force
