In order to minimize errors during import I first exported the account (categories) tree and imported that into GC. We’re there still errors?, yes but it was manageable. I then exported the data by year into qif files for import into GC. It made my life easier and reduced the number of errors I

In all seriousness, I recall that when I tried to import my data from Quicken, I ran into so many problems and inaccuracies of the transactions going into the wrong GnuCash account, etc., that I concluded it was just easier and I'd have more confidence in entering the transactions manually from the

When I transferred over to GnuCash from Quicken a number of years ago, after first toying with the import directions/options, I opted to use the "6-pack" method... I bought several 6-packs of Stella, picked how many years I wanted to go back to be reflected in GnuCash, and entered each and transac

Thanks for the feedback. I am currently rewriting part of the documentation in the Help manual on importing. The comments about Base, Destination and transfer accounts are quite timely and I have struggled with that terminology while doing the rewrite. The difficulty arises primarily because in a

As a newbie I did (and do) have some trouble with GnuCash, but my largest concerns were with the  import process. I have a few suggestions that might ease the path of the next newbies to come. The import process, per se, seemed to go smoothly - it was the assigning appropriate splits that took m

Hi David, Thanks for the suggestion to look at the currency mismatch. Indeed, there is a tag in the QFX file saying the currency is USD, which is wrong. Manually fixing this tag and importing again gives the expected correct result. I called the bank to let them know. It appears they are awa

Hi David, Thanks for the response. OFX/QFX works perfectly fine on all other bank & credit card accounts. It's just this one that is a problem. I have attached a screen shot so you can see what the register looks like. One other weird thing -- the currency for these problem imports seems to
