Hi Chitresh, Had a quick look at the QIF format in your attached file. It seems to be OK. The QIF format is not all that well defined. Compare the w3c definition(https://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/pim/qif-doc/QIF-doc.htm) and that in Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quicken_Interchange_Format) for example. There are several difference which could cause problems with an import parser. The QIF files I have imported (mainly from paypal) looked more like the Wikipedia format description than the w3c.
Have you matched your account structure in GnuCash as closely as you can to the Quicken categories? If accounts matching the categories don't exist, the new account button in the account matching dialog will allow you to create appropriate accounts on the fly. You can rearrange and rename accounts after importing data but having a roughly matching heirarchy will make it easier. Importing one account at a time (preferrably in small blocks until you have the process working well) as David T suggested is a good process. Understanding the matcher operation and the meaning of the A, U and R flags is also important. Sometimes the matcher will match to a transaction that is not the same transaction and will reject import. This can happen with frequent recurring transactions and you have to manually uncheck the R flag in that case. There are a number of threads in the archives like the following https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2010-April/034615.html where the operation of the matcher is discussed. Searching the archives with Google for "site:lists.gnucash.org import match" will bring up appropriate threads.
